NBN Project Update
The Communications Alliance NBN Project is moving to the next stage of activity with a couple of drafts released. We are engaging with stakeholders across many areas including utilities, wireless and satellite providers, the research sector, regulators such as ACCC and ACMA, the NSW Government NBN Taskforce, other industry associations and end-user organisations.
Both the Early Stage Deployments and End User Premises working groups will meet this week. The End User Premises, End User Migration and Operational working groups have all been making good progress on their areas of activity.
Interested members are invited to register for the Project Teams, which will also provide full access to the NBN Wiki. Non-member organisations who have an interest in the NBN and meet the eligibility requirements for Communications Alliance membership can register as observers directly on the NBN Wiki.
