$16m of Broadband Challenge Funding Announced
David Cunliffe has just announced this morning that the Government has finally decided to approve 5 of the urban Broadband Challenge applications to build urban fibre networks.
Hamilton is one of the accepted proposals, getting $3.3m of government funding to help cover the start-up costs of the network. Under the conditions of the Broadband Challenge the networks must be open access and provide a full duplex transfer rate of at least 1Gbps.
Should be interesting to see how this develops!
