Aussie Internet turns 20
26 Jun 2009
This week marked 20 years since Robert Elz and Torben Neilsen completed the first circuit that brought the Internet to Australia.
More than 12 million Australians users have been connected to the Internet since the first 56kbps satellite circuit was created, according to the International Telecommunications Union.
Internet access was available in 1989 initially to universities via the Australian Academic Research Network (AARNet) and was later offered by commercial Internet Service Providers during the early 1990s.
