Australian Telecommunications Users Group Broadband Awards 2009
ATUG is looking for Australia’s leaders in the effective use of broadband
ATUG has been at the forefront of the debate in Australia about broadband since 2001. Our interest is making sure broadband is available everywhere at affordable prices so users can experience firsthand the changes broadband makes possible.
In 2007 we began the search for Australia’s Leaders in the Effective Use of Broadband using our network of members, associations, industry, government and many contacts from our successful ATUG Regional Communications Roadshow.
In 2009 ATUG’s national search begins now with the launch of the 2009 Broadband Awards.
ATUG will be looking in all states, with the support of our state based branches and Convenors.
ATUG will be working with Government to find broadband champions across Australia.
ATUG will be working with industry and industry associations to find the best examples of broadband making a difference.
ATUG will be encouraging users of broadband from business - small and large, government and community to tell their story of the benefits broadband has brought to business and everyday life.

The winners of the Broadband Awards for 2009 will be announced at ATUG’s 2009 Annual Gala Dinner Event attended by 300 industry leaders.
