In 1995 Telstra and the Australian Capital Territory Government commenced planning for Australia's largest trial of broadband interactive services.
Inter-ACT, Interactive Services Consortium links these initiatives. It is a cooperative undertaking through which university, government, industry and community organisations model future applications of communications technology to community needs.
The Australian Space Research Institute (ASRI) was formed by merging the Australian Space Engineering Research Association Ltd., and the AUSROC Projects Group. ASRI conducts space related research, development and education programs in the launch vehicle and satellite technology areas on a non-profit basis.
Approved Research Institute status was granted to ASRI by the Federal Government and the CSIRO in May 1993. Corporate sponsors are invited to donate funds and resources to the Institute and Tax advantages apply. Membership is open to students corporations and the general public.

As such this corporate power, estimated to be worth about Au$24 billion, will and does play a major role in the present and future of the Internet for the Australian community. Telstra also manages AARNet the main Australian Internet access gateway to the world.
