So we can all really know where Tony and Co, who love all things American, got their vision for the future of internet in Australia.
In the US like here, internet services are provided by private companies.
In the US like here, most rural communities are significantly disadvantaged because these said same telecom companies refuse to provide a high speed service to those rural communities because it’s simply would not generate sufficient profit. In effect, they, like rural communities her,e are expected to pay a premium price for a substandard service.
So these communities got together and created Community Networks which actually run at a small profit.
Now the very same telecom companies who refuse to provide the service in the first place are now lobbying Congress to make Community Internet Networks illegal.
