    ACMA have no rural presence! As with so much else - doesn't matter, its only the bush - they have no political power.

    I just had a quick read of this and it seem a lot of people saying "Im glad to be out of mobile range"

    You can be out of range anywhere. Just turn it off. Simple.

    Here's another potential answer to remote broadband problems - eternal planes. Solar powered planes which can stay aloft indefinitely already exist. The problem at the moment is they have enough payload to carry cameras, but not enough for broadband equipment. Maybe one day...

    The RAAF have some spare drones lying around at Woomera.(did you know this?)

    Maybe they could use them for the good cause.

    ...or are they spying on people?

    Nice. True. But there's still nothing like having no option to turn it on. Bliss.

    However, there are many communities with no reliable internet and the growing expectation by all that we all have connection is a huge disadvantage for those without. Virtually all services are internet based now. Governments have a responsibility to provide / facilitate NBN for all communities in Australia for this reason IMO.
