The National Broadband Network, is a Fibre to the Home (FTTH) network being built in Australia. The Australian Government has established a Government business enterprise, NBN Co Limited[1], to design, build and operate an Open Access Network providing download speeds of 1 Gigabits per second to 93% of Australian homes and businesses, for which it is offering to contribute an initial cash injection of up to A$43 billion. The remaining homes and businesses will be supplied using wireless and satellite technologies. It will be the largest single infrastructure investment in Australia's history.[2] Work on the rollout in Tasmania began in July 2009 and the first services went live on 1 July 2010.[3] On 20 June 2010, Telstra signed a non-binding agreement to participate in the National Broadband Network rollout.[4]

[edit] Description

The National Broadband Network (NBN) project is an Australian Government initiative which will deliver high speed broadband to all Australians. The NBN is a new, wholesale only, open access high speed broadband network.

The NBN will involve the laying of fibre optic cabling to at least 90 per cent of Australian homes, schools and businesses, capable of delivering speeds of 100 1000 megabits per second (Mbps), or up to 100 times faster than many people experience today. The remaining premises will be connected via a combination of next generation high speed wireless and satellite technologies delivering broadband speeds of 12 Mbps or more.

The Government has established a new company, NBN Co Ltd to design, build and operate the new National Broadband Network.

Will Consist of FTTH (Fibre To The Home), Satellite and 3/4G services
