Response to Senate Broadband Inquiry
 
In September 2003, Callpoint was invited by the Australian Telecommunications User Group (Atug) to outline information related issues that are believed to hinder the adoption of broadband services.  Callpoint submitted its response to Atug on 23 September 2003.

On 13 November 2003, during the Senate Broadband Inquiry's session with Atug, Senator Kate Lundy asked Brian Beckor a series of specific follow up questions (by phone).
