NBN Co has today released the Fibre Access Service Product Overview. The
paper will shortly be published on NBN Co’s website, and can be downloaded
at http://www.nbnco.com.au/publications-and-announcements/publications.



The release of NBN Co’s Fibre Access Product Overview represents the
culmination of an extensive industry engagement program on NBN Co’s fibre
product.  As a wholesale only provider, NBN Co has been keen to engage with
the industry to understand the industry’s product requirements.  NBN Co has
been actively engaging with Access Seekers since its inception. NBN Co has
engaged with Access Seekers through a mixture of industry wide processes and
bilateral meetings.  NBN Co has also engaged on technical matters with
industry via the Communications Alliance and met and presented to other
industry groups.



On the industry wide front, over 1000 attendees have participated in NBN
Co’s industry consultation forums:



·         Three Fibre Product forums were held in Sydney, Melbourne and
Perth (Perth jointly with Communications Alliance).

·         10 Network and Operations forums were held in Sydney (4 sessions),
Melbourne (3), Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.

·         NBN Co presented to Communications Alliance members at two forums
in Sydney and Melbourne on its product technical thinking.

NBN Co released a public Product Consultation paper in December 2009.
Nearly 50 submissions were received from industry and interested
stakeholders and we released a response paper in March 2010.



On the bilateral front, NBN Co has held a number of ‘deep dive’ product
workshops with a number of key retail and wholesale service providers.  NBN
Co has completed approximately 150 hours of direct product deep dives in
workshop sessions with over 25 access seekers spread across Australia.
These sessions were designed to ensure that we get as much information as
possible from our prospective customers to ensure that we develop the right
products, operational systems and processes for industry and end users.



We have received a significant amount of valuable feedback from these
engagements, much of which has been incorporated into this product paper.
However, if you do have any further feedback on this paper, please respond
by 2nd September 2010 via email to: feedback at nbnco.com.au.

*Next steps*



As part of the overall development of our commercial products, and the
further definition of the network architecture, NBN Co is also developing a
related POI Consultation Paper, and a NBN Co Fibre Access Service (NFAS)
Pricing Paper.



Other related documents are in preparation, and will be published over
coming months to form a suite of documentation:



·         NFAS Product Technical Specification.

·         Service Management and Operations Manual.

·         Deployment Guide.

·         Systems Manual.
