The Queensland Government has advertised for an executive to head up a new office which takes a whole-of-government approach to the state's communications needs.
Responsibility for Queensland's formerly stand-alone Technology Transformation Program has been rolled into the government's technology service provider CITEC.
National Broadband Network Company executive chairman Mike Quigley has told staff from Queensland Public Works and ICT Minister Robert Schwarten's department that it may not select a single state to become the central headquarters of the company.
Minister for Communications Stephen Conroy has missed the self-imposed deadline of July to announce the National Broadband Network Company's remaining board members and other details.
Queensland's massive Exchange 2007 consolidation will finally move ahead with a pilot in August after the state election and department consolidations caused delays, according to a state estimates hearing on Tuesday.
