Landmark Study Confirms NBN Vision is Achievable and Affordable

The Rudd Government today released the National Broadband Network (NBN) Implementation Study which confirms that high-speed broadband for all Australians is achievable, and can be built on a financially viable basis with affordable prices for consumers.

A submission to NBN Co that identifies the benefits for early adoption of the NBN to the Eastern Regional Corridor has been logged.

This Southern Cross University submission was handed to the Federal Member for Page, Janelle Saffin on 29 January, 2010. She will champion this to get the Australian Government’s $43-billion National Broadband Network (NBN) rolled out early to the NSW North Coast.

Southern Cross University is committed to the NBN with the construction of a state-of-the-art research and demonstration ‘broadband hub’.
