"National Broadband Network (NBN) wholesaler NBN Co has awarded satellite operators Optus and IPSTAR contracts worth a total $300 million for managed satellite services to three per cent of Australian premises, confirming industry speculation surrounding the service."

This is the type of contract I would like to see NWT win, although 1mil contracts are better than nothing I suppose!
