We have a strong increase in population, a favoured place to live and Tasmania is constantly proving itself as an equal to the rest of the country. Of course this broadband venture should have happened years ago because it is a pure example of the hampering of services that Tasmanian citizens have had to deal with since day dot. We have an aging population and heading into an era where our dependence on ICT will reach phenomenal levels, this means that standards for usability are a big issue. There are still the generations that do not touch the internet or just don't feel comfortable using it - for example internet banking etc where security issues are a main cause for hesitation. For business overall, it's the high usability standards that we will be able to meet as a result of this broadband implementation that will be the head turner. The long term effects will be the quality of service on offer. Server locations within the state/internal business will affect our banking sector for example. We will see an increase in internet and ICT service use, but this will only continue to increase here in the state for a long time to come, at a higher level than the rest of Australia. This venture is essentially a requirement. We are finally stepping up to the rest of the world and some cool things will come out of it. Our company have some of the best ideas and skills within internet development services in the state, being able to showcase our work as the best it can be world-wide raises the bar for us.
