Australia - National Broadband Network - Overview and Analysis Synopsis
The decision from the Australian Government to launch a $43 billion national Fibre-to-the-Home broadband network is an unmistakable indication that there is a clear understanding that broadband is essential infrastructure. It fulfils a national purpose as its trans-sector multiplier effect delivers massive social and economic benefits in healthcare, education, energy and the environment.
A digital economy requires an open broadband infrastructure, and for that to work it can only be built by a national utility (NBN Co). While there certainly are questions regarding the business model and the investment plan, there is widespread support for the visionary plan.
During 2010 the business model needs to be developed, which will take into account the socio-economic benefits the infrastructure can deliver to the country. This report also provides an analysis of the progress of the project.
