[Dennis Plester]

I'm sure we could all have a moan about the telcos, and the complete farce
that is called affordable broadband access, but hey. 

I'm sure that one day, someone in the right position of authority will
realise what this is really costing us, in terms of lost development and
growth opportunity, etc...

	Bret,

	Don't feel left out just because you're in Armadale :-)  I'm in
Applecross 
	and Telstra has 'no plan in the foreseeable future' to provide ADSL
here, 
	either. Nor do we have any hope of cable television - 'dormant
suburb' 
	according to the cable guys :-(

	Even mobile coverage - two blocks back from the river, is sporadic,
with 
	mid-call disconnects common (I'm with Optus, but Telstra's not any
better: 
	cell-site ID says 'Nedlands'.)

	Chin up,


	Clive.
