libby: i'm from sydney
karin: I'm in Canberra. What's happening?
Creating: The Creating Rural Connections team is from Queensland Uni of
Technology in Brisbane but we spend a lot of time in rural Queensland. There still seem to
be major telecommunications infrastructure issues for rural people who want to participate
and operate online businesses. We would be really interested in hearing about case studies
of people who are successfully operating businesses on line in rural areas.
karin: Is that the group Lyn Simpson is with?
su: i am in sydney - lilyfield to be exact.
Creating: It sure is Karin. It's Lyn chatting at the moment!
Ann: Creating, Farmwide has connected over 1000 to online services and a number
are using various aspects of online services to conduct business. I was talking to one of
our participants wives this morning who is a financial consultant and works 2 hours drive
from her boss - something she couldn't do without online services
karin: Well, Hi, you must be following the progress of the Regional Summit with
interest
Creating: Ann, we'd be interested in more details about the financial
consultant. Would it be possible to get her to contact us at le.simpson@qut.edu.au?
Ann: Creating, of course, that is not a problem. Please email me at
aprunty@farmwide.com.au with your postal address and I will send you a copy of Rosie's
Final Report which has anecdotal and other evidence that may be of interest to you

repeating it here in Ravenshoe tonight). We'd been told we would be lucky to get 12-15

*** Mega (~MS_Megaby@slmlb30p30.ozemail.com.au) has joined channel #WOW
Ann: Angela, the problem for rural users is they often do not have local call
access, therefore the only ISP who can guarantee local call access is Big Pond and the
hourly rate is $7#
Mega: Hi everyone!
Angela: Can they get cheaper rates at night or is this only for city people?
Creating: Goodday Angela, It depends entirely where you are and what Internet
service providers are in your district as to how expensive it is. For a lot of people it
is still pretty expensive but comes out ahead of long distance phone conversations which
is the alternative.
*** Signoff: su (Leaving)
Creating: Cheaper rates do operate at night. The main challenge is for those who
do not have a local call access. Even what is supposed to be the equivalanet of a local
call for these people is still timed and charged accordingly.
Mega: looksmart have a great isp finder.. have you used it?
*** su (~CAEN@CPE-24-192-47-151.nsw.bigpond.net.au) has joined channel
#WOW
Ann: Angela they can access the $3.00 STD rate between 7pm and midnight rate and
a cheap hourly rate to an ISP who is an STD call away but this is not much help if they
wish to download a weather map or check the commodity prices at lunch time which is normal
practice for farmers
Mega: its at

Mega: is this program really slow or isn't anyone talking much?
Angela: Can they claim their costs as a business expense ? What happens with the
GST and connection costs ? presumably it will be taxed as a service?
Mega: absolutely you can claim your isp connection costs as a business
expense... just like telephone expenses.

little on using the Net for business there. Have yet to get back to it and see how it's
developed.
KateD: Is that Leonie Daws?
Judy: Lyn, sit nicely by the computer please and talk to us about women using
the Net for business!
Connectio: Yep, that's Leonie Daws
Lyn: Yes, Judy, this video shop has two public access computers (hence the rude
message to me from my colleague Leonie). These computers have just been installed as part
of the NTN project Tablelands Online.
Angela: Hi all I am glad we are letting the world know we are surviving the
technology - yesterday I could not get onto the systems at all - and i read the transcript
and noone mentioned problems so I assumed it was me - typical woman - they were probably
hassled yesterday as well and just too polit to let on!

bit far for me to get threre on my own
Connectio: Hi Carol - did you ask about the forum on welink? (Leanne)
cat: yes i did
Lyn: Hi Kate and to others - what rude people you are! I am sitting nicely at
the computer and trying to make some sensible contribution to this discussion - unlike my
colleagues Leonie and Leanne!
KateD: Well I really need to suss out this using the Net for business because
I'm unemployed again and don't think I'm cut out for 9-5 any more. I'm thinking about
getting some more training in webpapge design, desktopping etc and I'm keen to get onto
any teleworking.
cat: s o am i kate - but where does one begin
Lyn: Kate - we've been hearing about all sorts of opportunities to use the
technology for teleworking and doing business online. Do you know about Teletask, a
virtual employment agency where you can register as a rural teleworker?
Connectio: Where do you live? By the way, if you'd like us to send you some
information from the workshop, let me know at lm.wood@qut.edu.au and I can pass on some
bits and pieces. We'll also be putting a report and some resources on our webpage at
www.bus.qut.edu/connections as soon as I can get time to do it! (Hopefully in the next
couple of weeks...)
Judy: How is Teletask actually going ieis it proving to be effective?
KateD: An issue kinda related that came up for me...an article in the local
paper about Council not approving home businesses because they compete with people who
have town offices and have to pay for overheads. If I want to work from my home office I
guess I'd have to justify that nmost of my work is not being 'stolen' from the local
townsfolk.
Connectio: Kate and Carol, As a result of our discussions on fieldwork here and
in the Central west it is becoming clear to us that someone needs to put together a
training package for would be teleworkers. This might include skills audit and training
options but also managing one's life as an online worker. (Leonie)
Lyn: Judy, not sure how many registrations they have for Teletask but I do know
of a few people who have registered. What we need now is to get employers to understand
the benefits of outsourcing work to teleworkers
cat: kate your point is a good one and it is the second time I have heard the
question raised in last couple of days
KateD: Yikes, can't cut and paste... Leonie..re: aufit and training. That sounds
like a good idea...let me know if you're looking for tenders on that one. I'll follow up
on Teletask with you via email. I've got to get serious about making some $ here. Love
living in the bush but need to pay these bills.

if you telework. What greater right to work do townsfolk have? I think it's time for some
affirmative action for rural teleworkers! My argument is if 20% of the population lives in
rural areas, then surely they have the right to access 20% of public service jobs. Why are
most public service jobs given to people who live in urban areas? There would be heaps of
