Then the phones came in the early 80s only in the township of Maningrida. The phones were put in only for business use such as MPA, BAC, School and the Council Office there were also public phone put in each area. By the 90s there were public phones put in each outststion and its a lot better now and some of the homes in the township have phones. People who are interested in setting up their internet have to understand that its has both good and bad things for Aboriginal people who live in the remote community. People have think really what is the best way for them to communcate with people from around the world and how they can present themself on their homepage.
Internet is like people going shopping.
They can see what they would like to buy just by looking through the window shops. Once they work out what they want they can then wait for the fun to begin. They will really have good response if the information is well put on the homepage. One of the big problem that we face today is copyright. Now we can't stop it if people who come across the homepage and print out and then use it for something to make money.
