Abstract

Many countries are developing next generation broadband infrastructure. Australia's National Broadband Network is unique because of its scale expense and the extent of government involvement. The Australian model is unlikely to be fully repeated elsewhere but aspects of the model if fully realised shoud deliver world-class infrastructure and provide Australians with access to a wide array of content and services. This presentation will discuss the potential benefits of competing on service delivery rather than bulding competing infrastructures and will outline the value of building a single uniform infrastructure to connect all citizens. It will also highlight some of the weaknesses in the Australian model concluding with observations about aspects of the NBN that could and could not be feasibly incorporated into next generation networks plans in other countries.
