<strong style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">BREAKING NEWS:<br><span style="font-size:18pt">New statement of expectations for NBN Co</span><br>
<br></strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">Communications minister Malcolm Turnbull has told NBN Co to proceed with its current wireless, satellite, transit and POI network plans but cease issuing new instructions on brownfield fibre rollouts under a statement of expectations released in Sydney this afternoon.</span><br style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">The statement urges NBN Co to avoid service disruptions for consumers, minimise the impact of changes on the construction industry and implement the Coalition's policy for a less costly and faster rollout as "seamlessly" as possible.</span><br style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">It wants NBN Co to continue to work on existing satellite, wireless, transit and greenfield fibre rollouts but to desist from new build or remediation instructions in brownfields pending further discussions and analysis. The fixed wireless rollout should take into account the potential for VDSL rollouts in its service area.</span><br style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">It also calls on NBN Co to prepare its next three year corporate plan and to provide weekly NBN rollout information.</span><br style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">Turnbull also said that the Department of Communications had begun a 90 day review of broadband quality and availability in different regions of Australia which will inform the future priorities of NBN Co.</span><br style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">
