Australia issues fresh Statement of Expectations to NBN Co

2014-04-10 01:01:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) The Australian government has issued an updated Statement of Expectations to NBN Co, the company rolling out the National Broadband Network, confirming the recommendations made by the company in its Strategic Review to deliver broadband upgrades sooner, at less cost for taxpayers, and more affordably for consumers. The updated Statement confirms that the company should continue the NBN rollout using an optimised multi-technology model proposed in the Strategic Review. The technologies to be used in completing the NBN include fibre to the node/basement/ distribution point (FTTN/FTTB/FTTdp), fibre to the premises (FTTP), hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC), fixed wireless and satellite. The government's investment will be capped at AUD 29.5 billion, with the balance of the AUD 41 billion project to be funded by the private sector. NBN Co will also prioritise areas identified as poorly served by the government's Broadband Availability and Quality Report to the extent commercially and operationally feasible.
