FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda US firm Space Systems/Loral has won the $620 million contract for two satellites to provide high-speed broadband to areas in remote Australia.
The contract was announced by Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy and NBN Co chief Mike Quigley in Canberra on Wednesday.
The subsidiary of California-based group Loral Space and Communications will launch two satellites to provide high-speed internet by 2015 under the national broadband network (NBN).
NBN Co is the federal government-owned enterprise charged with rolling out fibre optic cable broadband to 93 per cent of Australia’s 13 million homes, schools and businesses by 2021.
Fixed wireless technology will provide high-speed internet to four per cent of premises and the remaining three per cent will be supplied by satellite technology to remote areas.
Senator Stephen Conroy said Australians were a step closer to fast and affordable broadband services.
“This will ensure high speed broadband is delivered to Australia’s remotest towns, such as Calvert in the Northern Territory and Bandya in Western Australia,” he said in a statement.
Mr Quigley said the satellites were designed to deliver initial peak speeds of 12 megabytes download and one megabyte upload.
“It will be possible for retail service providers to offer services to homes and businesses in the satellite footprint that are as good or better than the services many city people currently experience,” he said.
Space Systems/Loral president John Celli said the two companies shared a commitment to the highest quality performance.
“We’re delighted to play a part in helping to deliver much-needed hi-speed broadband communities in regional and remote areas,” he said.
