*BREAKING NEWS:
New statement of expectations for NBN Co

*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.

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.

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.

It also calls on NBN Co to prepare its next three year corporate plan and
to provide weekly NBN rollout information.

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.

More information in tomorrow's Communications Day.
