Commonwealth, state, territory and local governments on Friday jointly released a framework to accelerate the development and use of broadband in Australia.
Minister for Broadband, Senator Stephen Conroy, said, “This framework reinforces Australia’s development as a leading digital economy.”
The framework identifies three priorities for broadband:
• All Australians have access to high-speed broadband at equitable service levels and prices.
• Australians need high-speed broadband to improve economic, environmental and social wellbeing.
• Australians must be able to choose a broadband service that meets their needs.
“This framework outlines a national commitment to broadband collaboration and cooperation between all tiers of government,” Senator Conroy said.
The framework and further information on the Online and Communications Council meeting outcomes is available from: www.occ.gov.au
