Tony Cross, Chief Architect, Australia’s National Broadband Network (nbn)

Tony updates Guy Daniels on progress with Australia’s National Broadband Network (nbn). The old ambitious 'fibre to everyone' plan has been ditched and the emphasis now is on getting acceptable broadband (25 Mbit/s down, 5Mbit/s up, minimum) out to all of Australia in the shortest possible time. The plan is to use a range of broadband access technologies with G.fast and its near gigabit speed as the top-of-the range offering. G.fast has passed its field tests with flying colours, will be tried out by retailers next year, and the aim is for a wholesale roll-out from around 2017.
