Don't care about the NBN? Not getting it anytime soon?
As we've said before, you can think of the NBN as just one of many reasons to start thinking about the future of your business in the Internet era. How will your customers find you? Will you sell anything online, and what will you do with that speed?
We've been banging on about this for a while (here's our free eBook on it), but if you've decided it's time to get your head around what it all means for your business, there are other ways to get info.
One option is something called a "Digital Enterprise Program", a fancy title for a government scheme to provide training in groups, and free one-on-one sessions with a "mentor". It's free.
Today the government announced more organisations that will deliver these in Tasmania.
Go here for a list of names and email addresses for them in each state and territory.
At the time of writing, the list for Tasmania looks like this (information from the Digital Enterprise Program web page)

The government has previously stated that Tasmania will be "fully connected" to the NBN by the end of 2015.
