Telstra has today switched on more than 40 Wi-Fi hotspots across Tasmania in a joint partnership with the Tasmanian Government.
This partnership involves rolling out more than 150 Wi-Fi hotspots across 47 locations in Tasmania, including places like Cradle Mountain and Launceston Airport as well as commercial precincts including the Seaport precinct in Launceston and Elizabeth St Waterfront in Hobart. All users will be able to use 30 minutes per device per day at each location for free. Telstra Air Members will be able to use their home broadband data allowance at these hotspots with no time restrictions. Telstra Air is Australia’s largest Wi-Fi network and gives Telstra home broadband customers the ability to use their broadband allowance at thousands of hotspots in Australia and millions of hotspots overseas.
