Today the Regional Tech Hub, alongside the Minister for Communications, the Hon. Michelle Rowland MP and the National Farmers' Federation, launched Connectivity Month – a campaign designed to jumpstart awareness of the options available to help people get connected and stay connected to mobile and internet services.
Two-thirds of Australia's landmass currently has no mobile coverage, despite a third of Australia's population living outside metro cities. Evolving internet and mobile solutions are helping our regions overcome the digital divide; however, they can be confusing.
Since December 2020, the Regional Tech Hub (RTH) has received close to 100,000 requests for help, including more than 70,000 website enquiries and helping close to 10,000 people with their mobile and internet connectivity options.
