Inquiry into the role and potential of the National Broadband Network
Standing Committee on Infrastructure and Communications 

29 August 2011 <http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/ic/NBN/report.htm>


This report looks at the ways various sectors of government service 
delivery, economic and regional development and social and community 
activity can be enhanced and expanded as a result of the fibre-to-the 
premises infrastructure of the National Broadband Network.

The report is divided into two parts. Part One discusses the impacts of 
the NBN on the sectors identified in terms of reference a) to h) of the 
Minister’s referral. 

Part Two discusses term of reference i) and a number of other overriding 
issues concerning the NBN’s implementation that inquiry participants 
noted will need to be addressed in order to maximise the benefits 
outlined in Part One.
