When setting up a digital hub, you must:

  • not subsidise the service or service provider
  • retain the right to change the agreement.

Setting up a digital hub

  1. Choose an internet service provider to partner with.
  2. Agree on how you will work together.
  3. Talk to your regional office to seek approval in principle.
  4. Complete the correct third-party agreement. Your regional office will give you the correct agreement to complete.
