What have we learned from 130 years of telecommunications? Quite a bit.
When it comes to Australia’s national identity, few things define the culture of this vast continent better than how its people have persistently overcome the challenges of communicating over huge distances and diverse climates and conditions.
Whether it’s the iconic Royal Flying Doctor Service or the thousands of kilometres of early telegraph poles still standing by the route of the Indian Pacific railway, Australians have always looked for better ways to communicate.
Today we take smartphones, mobile data, digital transactions and pervasive internet access for granted – but in reality, our love of a good chinwag and fast data stretches back to before Federation.
