Australia invests in new projects to improve #digitalconnectivity in rural areas

More than 80 rural communities in Australia will benefit from better digital connectivity. That was announced under the Regional Connectivity Program (RCP).

The $90 million program delivers 81 place-based solutions to digital connectivity issues in the regions. That will be possible through a range of #mobile and #broadbandservices, including a wireless network for the Cootamundra, Gundagai, and Snowy Valleys areas in NSW.

Michael McCormack, Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, and Deputy Prime Minister, said that digital connectivity is a core element of the government’s regional development plan.

How do you think this project will impact Australia’s economy?
