Minister for Communications Stephen Conroy has released two key documents related to the first National Broadband Network process, which may clear the way for the Senate to debate the three key NBN Bills.
Federal Auditor-General Ian McPhee has revealed he will conduct a preliminary review of Labor's terminated National Broadband Network tender process.
The Greens have described the government's proposed $24,000 or more fee for processing Shadow Communications Minister Nick Minchin's broadband Freedom of Information (FOI) request as ridiculous.
Shadow Communications Minister Nick Minchin has demanded his opposite Stephen Conroy release reports from the National Broadband Network expert panel and Australian Competition and Consumer Commission as the Senate ordered in February.
Concept Economics, the consultancy that recently estimated the costs of the National Broadband Network outweighed the benefits by up to $20 billion, has gone into administration.
Getting Senator Stephen Conroy's regulatory reform for the telecommunications industry through the parliament would need support from the Senate. On Twisted Wire we ring around to see which parties are supportive and which are against.
Will the NBN provide a boom for local application developers? If so, have we got enough local expertise to develop these applications? A visit to many government department websites will show how poor the user experience can be. With the new network will we just get more frustrated quicker?
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy needs to stop handing his opposite Nick Minchin free kicks and put some transparency back into the National Broadband Network process before he finds himself losing favour with Chairman Rudd.
On the same day that the bids for the national broadband network bids were handed into the government, Australia, Baz Luhrman's vain masterpiece was released to the plebs.
