Local real estate agent Dougmal Harcourts is preparing for the availability of the NBN to her premises in February and licensee Susan Spence told the BRW:

We don’t even have window cards any more and that’s because we don’t sell property from a window any more; people buy houses from their own homes and online listings are very important.

The company estimates that driving to Sydney wastes the equivalent of 30 business days a year. The business is preparing to use videoconferencing, once connected, and is planning for the nine employees to attend most of their training in this way. This is just another example of how the NBN is beginning to radically change the way that business is done in Australia.
