“This new round of the Mobile Black Spot Program will have a specific focus on improving mobile coverage along major transport corridors and in disaster-prone regions of Barker,” Mr Pasin said.
“The first five rounds of the program have funded over 1,200 new base stations in regional Australia, with more that 880 of these already switched on,” Minister Coulton said.
“Round 5A will support new ways of delivering mobile services to locations that have traditionally been less economic for mobile network operators.”
