    Agreed that the NBN, once it is working properly and accessible to the majority in regional Australia, really will reduce the tyranny of distance many regional Australians have grown up with. There is absolutely no reason why people can't be starting great online businesses in regional and remote areas as long as they have access to fast and reliable internet as well as learning opportunities to develop their business skills.
