Holly Raiche, Executive Director, Internet Society of Australia 
(ISOC-AU) has pointed out that there are TWO parliamentary inquiries 
into the National Broadband Network (NBN), with submissions closing this 
week:

1. House of Representatives Standing Committee on Infrastructure and 
Communications, on the role and potential of the NBN, with submissions 
due 25 February: <http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/ic/NBN/>

2. Senate Standing Committee on Environment and Communications, inquiry 
into NBN bills, with submissions due 24 February 2011::

ISOC-AU is preparing a submission to the Senate committee:

The ACS is preparing a submission to the House of Representatives

Apologies for any confusion I may have caused by not realising there 
were two inquiries.
