> Community Q&A
> 
> The community questions brought out a lot of good information so Ia^??ve included a few of the questions and the answers from NBN Co below:
> 
>     * Do I have to rewire my house? The straightforward answer to this was no. The connection will include an ethernet cable that you can either plug a normal ethernet cable into or plug a wireless access point into. NBN Co said that there would likely be guidance from industry and NBN Co in future if you want to run ethernet or fibre throughout your house or other options in future but this is unnecessary to use the NBN today.
>     * What if Ia^??m currently on a Pair Gain or RIM connection? Darren said that because the NBN runs fibre to the premise and not just to the node, the copper system is completely bypassed and so you wona^??t have to deal with the issue of Pair Gains or RIMs again. (I cana^??t tell you how pleased so many people will be about this! It is worth noting that ONLY fibre to the premise (FTTP) resolves the pair gain choke on bandwidth.)
>     * What if Ia^??m currently on an Internet plan? Darren advised there were plenty of measures in place to assist RSPs (Retail Service Providers, in other words ISPs etc) and customers to move to the NBN once it is available.
>     * What if the previous owner of my house chooses to not connect to the NBN, can I get connected? Darren said NBN Co had considered this issue a lot and the simple answer was a^??yesa^??, they were set up to deal with this concern.
>     * How many fibres per premise? Darren said there are two fibres per connection.
>     * What about TransACT and other companies? Darren said NBN Co are still in discussions with many companies including TransACT so cana^??t discuss details, but NBN Co wants to use existing infrastructure wherever possible and doesna^??t want to overbuild.
>     * Local businesses who want to participate in the rollout. Darren stated that NBN Co wanted to collaborate wherever possible with local businesses and leverage local talent and skills. He suggested that any companies or persons interested in participating in the rollout should register their interest on the NBN Co website and get in touch to discuss work plans and opportunities for collaboration.
