The Internet Industry Association (IIA) of Australia has prepared a vision for the broadband network, in which the national internet industry body conclusively said that most of the Australians should access to high-speed broadband connections (10 megabits per second or more) by the year 2010.



It is high time to enhance the speed of the national broadband network to enable Australia globally competitive in the coming days. It is mainly due to VoIP and blogging on platforms such as YouTube and MySpace would require more bandwidth in future, IIA says.





In its first ever report, IIA has urged 80 percent of the Australian should access to 10Mbit/s downstream broadband services by 2010, with 67 percent having access to 24Mbit/s or faster. At present, Australians access broadband services less than 1.5Mbit/s in terms of speed.
