The Home Internet Project (HIP) is a joint project between the Centre for Appropriate Technology (CAT), the Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries through the Swinburne University Institute for Social Research, and the Central Land Council. The project is focussed on three central Australian outstation communities: Kwale Kwale (40km west of Alice Springs), Mungalawurru (80km northwest of Tennant Creek) and Imangara (200km southeast of Tennant Creek). The three year project is structured in three phases: • A baseline study (this phase was completed in 2011, and the associated report • An implementation phase that included the provision of computing and Internet access facilities in community homes, and ongoing training and technical support for the residents. • A longitudinal research phase monitoring the ongoing use of the facilities, from the start of the implementation phase in mid-2011, through to mid-2014. - Introduction,
