Computing Assistance Support & Education (CASE - http://www.case.org.au) 
spoke with TransACT long ago about the significant community development 
opportunities that would be possible with the advent of a high speed 
network in our community. I also remember quite 
clearly being told at PCUG presentations that this would be offered. 

IMHO, 
local peering is one of the few reasons I would even consider using the 
service. After all, at .19/meg additional data charges (after a relatively 
small allowance) who could afford such a service? It will be great for 
local and pay TV, and maybe even telephone services but hey gang - anyone 
remember why the net is so popular? And what enabled it to become what it 
is? Hint, starts with an "O".

Cheers.
