gizmo backs Federal Government’s national broadband
network announcement
Sydney, Australia – 08 April 2009 – gizmo, an Australian-owned company helping
people across the country gain greater value and enjoyment from their technology,
today welcomed the Federal Government’s announcement to develop a new high-
speed national broadband network.
“We are very confident in endorsing the Government’s fibre-to-the-home network
plans,” said Brett Chenoweth, gizmo’s CEO. “Our customers often tell us that a
whole new world opens up to them when they first get access to high-speed
broadband in the home.”
A home broadband network up to 100 times faster than what many people may be
using now can revolutionise real-time interaction, entertainment, education and
productivity.
“Our strategy at gizmo has always been to help people make the most out of their
technology purchases in the home, so we see first-hand the difference the best
technology used correctly makes to people every day.”
gizmo is aware that with access to high-speed broadband comes a new challenge
for consumers. Adoption of new hardware and software technology in the home is
strongly driven by broadband accessibility. However, getting everything to work
together in an optimal way can sometimes be beyond the average consumer.
“That’s where gizmo steps in to help people get everything set up and make sure it
all works perfectly together,” said Mr Chenoweth. “Our vision is to remove the
frustrations and complexity of technology and open our customers up to new ideas,
experiences and opportunities. We love technology and we are excited by the
endless possibilities a fibre-to-the-home network can deliver.”
