Fresh perspectives about markets, hierarchies and networks as ways of organising economic activity will come from better understanding the governance and performance of Australia's overseas communications in the second half of the 20th century. In the internet era, when so much online activity involves overseas access, global links are even more important to the cultural and economic innovation sought through improved broadband infrastructure. Answering the recent call for 'a wide-ranging reassessment of Australia's imperial experience across a broad front', research about the post-war Commonwealth telecommunications scheme will be particularly valuable as the global financial crisis tests forms of globalization that seemed durable.

对市场、等级制度和网络作为经济活动组织方式的新视角将来自对 20 世纪下半叶澳大利亚海外传播的治理和绩效的更好理解。在互联网时代，当如此多的在线活动涉及海外访问时，全球链接对于通过改善宽带基础设施寻求的文化和经济创新变得更加重要。为了响应最近“对澳大利亚在广泛战线上的帝国经验进行广泛重新评估”的呼吁，有关战后英联邦电信计划的研究将特别有价值，因为全球金融危机正在考验看似持久的全球化形式。
