===Milestones=== *'''Telecommunications backbone in regional Australia:''' 2001 marked the launch of the [[The Coorong|Coorong]] Communications Network, one of the first non-incumbent telecommunications backbones built into a regional area in Australia, offering low cost voice and data services to regional customers. In 2005 a second regional network based on the same technology was deployed in the [[Yorke Peninsula]] region, demonstrating that the underlying model is not only sustainable, but reproducible. (see [http://www.agile.com.au/press/press-20-10-2004.htm Press Release]) *'''Games network''': 1 July 2002 saw the launch of the Internode Games Network, a private [[PC game|gaming]] network run by Internode for its ADSL customers. It became the largest gaming network in Australia (in terms of peak daily player count) ahead of even [[Telstra]]'s GameArena. It has since been discontinued. *'''Agile Broadband rollout''': In mid-2003, Internode's infrastructure company, [[Agile Communications|Agile]], installed its own equipment in the Telstra exchange at [[Meningie, South Australia]]. This made it the first exchange in Regional Australia where ADSL was available from a non-Telstra [[Digital subscriber line access multiplexer|DSLAM]].<ref>{{cite news|title=SA town gets broadband β without Telstra|url=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/10/03/1064988380807.html|publisher=[[The Age]]|date=2003-10-03|access-date=2006-12-11}}</ref> DSLAM deployment continued, ultimately becoming national in extent. *'''International Backbone:''' In early 2005, Agile extended the national private backbone it operates for Internode to connect to the United States. This link was initially provided by leased capacity on the [[Southern Cross Cable]] system, expanded in December 2006 to also utilise capacity leased on [[Australia-Japan Cable]] to provide an alternative pathway to that provided by Southern Cross Cable. *'''Unmetered content:''' Internode also runs content servers such as a cluster of [[Steam (service)|Steam]] content servers. Further 'unmetered' content available via the national Agile backbone network includes relays of popular streaming audio sources and a 10 [[terabyte]] mirror server. includes a file mirror and radio streams *'''Gaming Network:''' Internode offers free services to members, recently giving a free advance screening of the blockbuster [[V for Vendetta]] in [[Brisbane]], and [[Lucky Number Slevin]] in [[Melbourne]]. These screenings will be discontinued in favour of supporting events, such as the Canberra Games Festival. *'''SourceForge Mirror:''' On 3 June 2008, Internode announced the availability of the first full Australian [[SourceForge]] mirror. *'''IPv6:''' On 18 July 2008, Internode launched a national [[IPv6]] service, the first in Australia. *'''Email Services:''' On 30 November 2023 Internode will stop providing an email service. Internode email addresses are moving to The Messaging Company in 2023 and will be at a yet to be determined cost to the end user.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.internode.on.net/nodesupport/faq/internode_email_messaging_company | title=NodeSupport / Faq / Internode Email Messaging Company | Internode }}</ref> Internode has supported many local events, such as the [[Adelaide Film Festival]], [[WOMADelaide]], the [[Adelaide Fringe]] (for at least 10 years until 2014<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.iinet.net.au/about/mediacentre/releases/internode/2014-11-28-internode-fringe-2015-sponsorship|website=iinet|title=Fans win as Internode backs the 2015 Adelaide Fringe|date=28 November 2014|access-date=20 August 2019}}</ref>) and the Global [[Green hosting]] Challenge.{{citation needed|date=August 2019}} It also provides services for video game company [[Valve Corporation|Valve]].<ref>Australian Competition and Consumer Commission v Valve Corporation (No 3) [2016] FCA 196, p10</ref>
