The Australian Computer Society (ACS) has been invited to comment on the Australian Government's Metropolitan Broadband Blackspots Program (MBBP). The program is being launched in early 2006, with $50 million to provide reasonably priced broadband Internet services to customers in metropolitan areas who are currently unable to access them. ACS members are invited to provide input for the response being prepared by the ACS's Communications Technologies Board. Members can discuss the issue in the ACS's "General" forum under the topic "Broadband Policy". In its commentary on the 2005-06 Budget, the ACS welcomed the Metropolitan Broadband Blackspots Program, but reminded the Government that 256Kbp/s ADSL is not "true broadband". The ACS would also welcome coordinated input from other industry bodies and the also be discussing the issues with other related bodies and would welcome their input. A summary of the Government's Metropolitan Broadband Blackspots Program Discussion Paper, for those with limited bandwidth, is provided at <http://www.tomw.net.au/2005/blackspots.html>. Tom Worthington FACS HLM Director, ACS Communications Tech Board http://www.acs.org.au/ctb/

Who said that 256kbits/s ADSL is not broadband? I'd like to see some proof of that.
