WELCOMEIn March 2000 the independent Telecommunications Service Inquiry (TSI) was established to assess and make a certification on the adequacy of telecommunications services in Australia. The TSI report and the Government's response to the TSI can be accessed here.
On 16 August 2002 the Government announced a further review of telecommunications services to regional, rural and remote Australia, to be conducted by the independent Regional Telecommunications Inquiry (RTI).
The RTI was asked to report on whether telecommunications services in regional, rural and remote Australia are adequate and the arrangements that should be put in place to ensure all Australians continue to share in the benefits of further service improvements and developments in technology.
The RTI reported to the Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts on 8 November 2002 and the Government is currently considering its response to the report. The Inquiry's report is available here.
