ISOC-AU WELCOMES NBN APPROACH

The Internet Society of Australia today welcomed the approach of the
Australian Government to delivering broadband throughout Australia, as
reflected in the announcement on the National Broadband Network.

“Australia needs urgent action to modernise the state of networks and
the regulatory regime to deliver effective competition at the wholesale
and retail levels”, said Tony Hill, President of ISOC-AU.  “The
announcement of the Government's thoughtful approach to delivery of high
speed broadband promises to deliver new networks on a stable basis into
the future”.
