Broadband a central issue to form Government 

By James Riley Sunday, 22 August 2010 www.itwire.com (snip)


. Greens leader Bob Brown last night declared that broadband was the 
difference between the major parties for the knife edge election, and 
might play a role in the formation of the next Government.

Senator Brown said: "If the Coalition doesn't win Government, it will be 
because of the National Broadband Network. People want to live in the 
21st century, for God's sake."

As the Greens have already committed to backing Labor's NBN – as well as 
its telecommunications regulatory reforms – there is already common 
ground on the major issue ..
