Internet In Australia
Internet access was first available in Australia to universities via AARNet in 1989. The first commercial dial-up ISPs (Internet Service Providers) appeared in capital cities soon after and by the mid-1990s almost the entire country had a wide choice of dial-up Internet access providers. In present times Internet access is available through a range of technologies, chiefly Hybrid Fibre Coaxial Cable, DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), ISDN and Satellite Internet. The Australian Government, in partnership with industry, began rolling out a nation-wide Fibre to the Premises broadband network in July 2009.
