National Broadband Network Implementation Study

On 6 May 2010 the Australian Government released the National Broadband Network Implementation Study. The Implementation Study examines the Government’s coverage, commerciality and competition objectives as well as the detailed operating arrangements of NBN Co Limited, its ownership and structure, ways to attract private sector investment and longer term privatisation.

Public comments and submissions were sought on the Implementation Study by 27 May 2010.

For more information, see the statement by the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy and the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Lindsay Tanner.

Media release: Landmark study confirms NBN vision is achievable and affordable

The Government is currently considering the Implementation Study and public comments will inform the Government’s response, expected in the coming months.
