Mr Hayes
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, in writing, on 25 May 2005:
(1) Is it the case that Broadband service is not available in all areas of the electoral division of Werriwa; if so, which areas do not have access to Broadband.
(2) What reasons does Telstra give for not providing access to Broadband.
(3) What action is Telstra taking to address this situation.
(4) Is the Minister able to say when Broadband services will be available throughout the electoral division of Werriwa.
Mr McGauran (Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry)
—The Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts has provided the following answer to the honourable member’s question, based in part on information provided by Telstra:
(1) No. Broadband services are available in all areas of the electoral division of Werriwa via one or more broadband access technologies. All telephone exchanges within the electoral division of Werriwa, with the exception of the Kemps Creek exchange, have been ADSL enabled. The Kemps Creek exchange is scheduled to be ADSL enabled in September 2005. Technical limitations associated with ADSL mean that not all customer premises connected to an ADSL enabled telephone exchange are able to receive an ADSL service. Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) cable and wireless broadband services are also available to a number of customers within the electoral division of Werriwa. Customers that do not have access to broadband services via either ADSL, HFC cable or wireless can access broadband services via a two-way satellite connection. From early 2006 the Government’s $50 million Metropolitan Broadband Connect program will assist customers in metropolitan areas where affordable broadband access is not available. This program builds upon the success of the Government’s $157.8 million Higher Bandwidth Incentive Scheme which is assisting customers in regional Australia.
