Remote Australia And Satellite Technology Team Up

This 10 year plan will bring major changes and opportunities to very remote parts of the country as well as the population centers and add new avenues of tourism for the area.

This is a major undertaking by the government and will greatly benefit the rural areas, but must be done in steps over a projected time span of 10 years. It will most likely be a learning process for all parties involved in the process, due mostly to the remoteness of some of the areas and the newest technology that is being used. Officials and planners have decided on Merimbula as the first ground station gateway location.

This area is part of New South Wales and is located on the Far South Coast. Some people might wonder why this remote area is being chosen for the high speed internet service. Simply put, the possibilities of this service are endless. Immediate results are expected in the area of communications and a state of the art net setup will render much more than just fun to those who will finally have access to the marvels of space age communications within their grasp.

There will be many benefits to the local businesses because of the high speed connection. It is a truth that when businesses have better technology they will in turn then be able to offer customers more access to what they need. It can turn a small local enterprise into a competitor on the net market, and will be helpful to the tourist industry that the area has. The availability of decent web access will make a difference to anyone that has not had access before. People in these rural areas have been unable to access the web in many ways, but that is all changing.

Existing businesses will easily recognize new benefits and possibilities for their business, but new start up web based businesses should see a new and exciting boom. People who choose to reside in the far reaches of civilization will be able to conduct business, both buying and selling as never before without the pitfalls of more populated areas. The increase of business and all cottage related industries will be enormous. Web support businesses such as graphic design and web site writing are just a couple of examples and just the beginning of new things to come.

Craftsmen and artists will have the ability to create online stores or to join with online retailers to sell their wares. Students will be able to effectively research or to begin online classes at a variety of schools. The fact is that there will so much more at hand with the offering and connection of this satellite technology.
