The Federal Government today said it wasn't yet sure whether it would publish the multimillion-dollar National Broadband implementation study currently being undertaken by consulting firms McKinsey and KPMG.
Network information that Telstra submitted to the Federal Government under the initial National Broadband Network proposal may have been leaked.
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.
The chief of Australia's competition regulator last night said it was too soon to know what sort of issues would arise if the National Broadband Network Company became another government-owned monopoly telco player in the style of Telstra.
The Tasmanian arm of the National Broadband Network Company, NBN Tasmania, has selected the company that will provide the fibre-optic cable for the new backhaul network in the island state.
It was interesting to witness Conroy's recent enthusiasm to spruik the NBN's role in supporting the Smart Grid, Smart City initiative. What a pity that Conroy hadn't yet seen the damning report from the Victorian auditor-general about that state's smart-meter roll-out.
I have seen the NBN, and it looks a lot like Christina Aguilera. Or, at least, it looked like her when I dropped into Ericsson's Melbourne headquarters recently to see a live demo of their NBN solutions. Yet behind the streaming TV, one question lingers -- and not even the government seems able to answer it.
In the second of our two programs looking at the Senate Inquiry into the Telecommunications Legislation Amendment Bill, we hear from shareholders, bureaucrats and industry groups.
Like the engineers that sat down on day one with an empty blackboard and a mission to get man to the moon and back, building the NBN from the ground up is a daunting and complex opportunity that will present more than its share of challenges.
One year into its tenure, how has the new New Zealand Government performed on issues of technology and telecommunications?
There's a certain ridiculousness to Alcatel-Lucent's National Broadband Network video production that goes to the heart of an obvious worry that it will ultimately be left out when the cheques are signed.
With a series of strategic appointments, management consultancy McKinsey has placed itself perfectly to benefit from the massive $43 billion slush fund the Federal Government is describing publicly as "the National Broadband Network project".
The level of ignorance from Australian politicians about technology can be staggering. Here's some of the worst examples we've seen, and a short recipe for resolving the issue.
Alcatel-Lucent's optical network terminal (ONT) equipment was not considered suitable for an open access fibre deployment similar to the future NBN roll-out at a greenfield estate in Victoria, according to the project's builder.
Hoffman's position on the board will ensure that the National Broadband Network Company can engage with the content industry in a meaningful way.
Shadow Communications Minister talks about key issues in his portfolio: the National Broadband Network, the ISP filter and more.
Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union (CEPU) national president Ed Husic talks about how Telstra's strikes are going and what Telstra's fall from the national broadband network process means to its workers.
