Internode has welcomed the announcement that Internode is an approved broadband provider under the $163 million ABG scheme.

Internode's NodePhone (VoIP) telephone service has signed up its 10,000th customer, less than six months after its second generation version, NodePhone2, went live.

Internode will put its video-capable national broadband network through its paces after commencing a Video on Demand partnership with Melbourne-based Bluebox Devices.

Internode has reduced the power consumption and increased the performance of its web servers, by introducing virtualisation at its two major data centres.
