Whirlpool reports that TransACT has won a contract to supply the new suburb of Forde in Canberra with Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), enabling broadband, telephone and TV to travel over the technology.
“Located between Mulligans Flat and Horse Park Drive, the Forde community will be one of the first masterplanned communities in Canberra and is expected to contain more than 1,000 homes and a population of 2,500 people by 2013“, said the announcement.
One downside to these developments is that the telco involved is granted a virtual monopoly on fixed line telecommunications services to residents.
