State-supplied broadband will start to be connected to New South Wales (NSW) government departments from October 2005. Commerce Minister John Della Bosca said he was happy with performance of contractor SP Telemedia, despite industry claims the scheme is delayed. SP Telemedia, which was awarded the $A300 million contract over Telstra and Optus, says there has been some minor delays. Five major NSW departments representing 80% of public sector staff have committed to using the new broadband "core network", which is a major part of government plans to improve services in rural and regional areas.
