NBN: a Guide for Consumers
NBN: A Guide for Consumers NBN: Fast Facts The National Broadband Network (NBN) is public utility infrastructure that will cover all premises in Australia. It is being built by NBN Co Limited – a wholly Government-owned company. The NBN will consist of fibre-optic cable to 93% of premises. The remaining 7% of premises mostly in rural and remote areas will get fixed wireless or satellite connections. You will still buy your phone and internet from service providers such as Telstra, Optus, iiNet and Primus. You won’t deal with NBN Co. Connecting your premises to the NBN doesn’t mean you have to sign up for a phone or internet service if you don’t want to. The NBN will be used first for the internet and for carrying phone calls, with more services such as TV, movies, video telephony, smart metering and health monitoring becoming available in the future. If you are happy with your existing phone handset, you can keep it. The existing copper-wire telephone network will be disconnected in stages as the NBN is rolled out. In wireless and satellite areas, the copper network will be maintained for at least ten years. You will get a Network Termination Device or “NBN box” inside your premises or in a few cases on the outside wall. You do not need to rewire your house. NBN Co will provide a one-off back-up battery to people who get connected. This back-up battery will power a regular phone plugged into the NBN box for up to five hours in the event of a power failure.

National Broadband Network Etwork Goes Live on Mainland Australia D Australia
National Broadband Network goes live on mainland Australia Residents in Armidale NSW become first to be connected to the NBN STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 12:00PM, 18 MAY 2011 The city of Armidale in rural New South Wales today celebrated becoming the first centre in mainland Australia to receive the National Broadband Network. The Prime Minister presided over the switch-on of superfast fibre optic broadband services to selected Armidale residents at an official ceremony this morning. The NBN will in the coming months enable an increasing number of residents, businesses, and medical and educational facilities in the Armidale First Release Site to receive broadband at speeds of up to 100 Megabits per second*. Residents are progressively being connected to the network as part of customer trials by four telecommunications providers who have already completed the certification process: iiNet, Internode, iPrimus and Telstra. The handful of Armidale customers who have been trialling the service over the past month now join those already connected to the network in Tasmania, where the three communities of Midway Point, Smithton and Scottsdale were brought online in August last year. This test phase is a critical step in building the network, working with telecommunications providers and integrating our operating systems as we aim to provide the best possible service throughout the future rollout. The launch featured demonstrations of education, health and business applications that will be enabled by the NBN as well as testimonials from some of the first Armidale customers connected to the network. Mike Quigley, NBN Co Chief Executive, said: “Today marks a significant milestone in our national rollout.

Transact's Foundation and Initial Rollout
Published on Telsoc (https://telsoc.org) Home > TransACT's foundation and initial rollout TransACT's foundation and initial rollout Robin Eckermann [1] University of Canberra AJTDE - Vol 2, No 1 - February 2014 [2] [3] 36 [4] Abstract TransACT (2000- ) introduced Australia?s first VDSL network, offering a 'triple play' of voice, data (e.g. Internet access), broadcast and video-on-demand services in Australia?s capital city, Canberra, in competition with the incumbent carrier Telstra. TransACT's founding Chief Architect, Robin Eckermann, reminisces on the founding of TransACT and some of the lessons to be learned from this fore-runner of the National Broadband Network (NBN). Introduction 1 TransACT was a pioneering network by many measures. The deployment that began in 2000 after a four-year incubation period was one of the first to implement open access principles with the structural separation of local access and services. It took fibre deep into the access network, within 300m of the end-user, in a fibre-to-the-kerb (FTTK) architecture. It was the first network in the world to deploy VDSL technology (with a raw speed of 51.84 Mbps), enabling support of a triple play suite of services including broadcast-quality video. Fourteen years later, with the network now owned by iiNet (ASX: IIN), the original electronics are being replaced by VDSL2, enabling speeds of 100 Mbps over the original cabling. Many Australians can only hope that the NBN will provide similar capabilities in their areas over the next ten years. It was one of the highlights of my professional career to lead the creation of TransACT, with hands- on involvement in every aspect - designing the architecture, selecting the technology, developing the business models, defining the products and raising the investment needed to proceed.

NBN Faces Double Cost Hit on Ageing Optus Network
NBN faces double cost hit on ageing Optus network by David Ramli NBN Co spent $800 million to buy and reuse Optus' cable network. Now it may be forced to invest another $375 million to rebuild parts of the fading network because it isn't capable of delivering high-speed broadband to enough people. NBN struck the deal with Optus in 2012 to buy and convert the hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC) network used for internet and pay TV. Where the last Labor government wanted to replace it with fibre-to-the-home technology, the Coalition pledged to save money and time by upgrading it instead and signed an updated contract last year. The draft of an internal NBN presentation this month says the Optus network is not "fit for purpose", lacks the capacity to support NBN services and must be upgraded or replaced at a cost of up to $375 million. This would be the latest cost increase at NBN since the Coalition took over in 2013. It revealed a potential cost blowout of $15 billion in August, citing higher than expected expenses. "Some Optus equipment [is] arriving at end of life and needs to be replaced," the presentation to senior executives said. "Optus nodes are oversubscribed compared with Telstra and will require node splits … 470,000 premises [in areas covered by Optus' network] would have to be overbuilt." The presentation warned that any of the planned works would "come at a significant cost" in terms of time and money. "NBN will miss its financial year 2017-18 ready-for-service targets by respectively 300,000 and 333,000 [premises]," it said.

The previous Labor Government issued a number of ‘Statements of Expectation” to NBN Co which outlined the intended fibre to the premises policy it had developed. Now the Coalition Government has issued its own Statement (see below), which officially change the company’s goals. Labor's vision for a fully fibre NBN is now officially dead. The new instructions direct NBN Co to scrap Labor's FTTP strategy and use a mix of new and existing broadband technologies, which it intends to roll out more quickly than Labor's plan, giving an ‘optimised multi technology mix’ with slower average speed than FTTP. Meanwhile Malcolm Turnbull has defended delays to the NBN rollout, slamming Labor's previous NBN plan yet again.
