But the article says:

"The satellite data service costs $3500 per month for 1GB per month and can be shared between 12 to 20 people for "normal" Web access."

3500/20 = 175 AUDs = 120 USD. This figure still looks expensive for just 1 GB traffic. But maybe an upgrade might be not to expensive.

All in all

"The Rural Link network is intended for country community groups, health facilities and council and community technology centres ..."

So it's not sold to the individual consumer but to public/private organizations. Of courese prices differ in this market segment.
