While outlining key parameters for the National Broadband Network (NBN), NBN Co chief Mike Quigley yesterday said he had received so many meeting requests that he has asked for those interested to go through industry representative bodies rather than contact him directly.
The Tasmanian Government has put out a call to the information and communications technology industry for suggestions on how to best use the National Broadband Network and Digital Education Revolution for the students of the state.
The National Broadband Network Company retrieved the nbnco.com.au web address from a consultancy led by Chris Worrad at a cost of around $4000, ZDNet.com.au understands.
