Introducing innovation and flexibility
To Break the Digital Divide, QCN works with retail service providers, such as the Country Broadband Network, to enable innovation and flexibility in regional Queensland networks.
Through the support of the Queensland Government, who has opened access to digital infrastructure that was originally built for Queensland’s electricity network, QCN can offer competitive prices to these retail providers, ensuring customer satisfaction and establishing greater internet access.
