"It allows businesses based in regional or rural Australian to use the Internet for marketing, promotions or e-commerce just as city-based businesses have been, and it brings transactional capabilities to customers in every part of Australia," Pretty said.
The Federal government at the last election announced a commitment that it would provide customers in locations where access to a 64Kbps ISDN service is unavailable, a subsidy on the hardware required for the Big Pond Advance satellite service.
This subsidy, which will also satisfy the Universal Service Obligation, is currently being developed by the government.
