The Federal Government today announced a House of Representatives inquiry into wireless broadband technologies in Australia.

 

The Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, Senator Richard Alston, today announced that the Federal Government will establish a House of Representatives Inquiry into wireless broadband technologies.

The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, chaired by Mr Christopher Pyne, will conduct an inquiry into the current and potential use of wireless technologies (including wireless LAN, Bluetooth, LMDS and Wireless Local Loop) to provide broadband communications in Australia.

We are currently experiencing a number of exciting developments in the area of wireless technologies for the provision of broadband services.

During a recent trip to the United States, I was impressed by the use of wireless LAN technologies (using 802.11 standard) to provide broadband services. The Government is keen to explore the opportunities for these and other wireless technologies to provide a potential 'last mile' broadband solutions, particularly in rural and regional areas of Australia.

The inquiry will consider the benefits and limitations on the development and use of wireless broadband technologies in Australia, including the effect of the telecommunications regulatory regime.

The Government recognises the potential for facilities based competition in broadband, with different platforms such as cable, copper, satellite and wireless competing against other and delivering maximum benefits to Australian consumers and businesses.

The inquiry is part of the Government's ongoing commitment to ensure that all Australians gain the maximum economic and social benefits from the use of broadband technologies.
