·         Better access to health services for Australian families;

·         Better education opportunities for Australian children; and

·         Create business opportunities and stimulating Australia’s economy.

 

The NBN will be the single largest infrastructure investment made by an Australian Government. It will:

·         be a key nation-building project;

·         stimulate the economy and help drive Australia’s productivity;

·         transform service delivery in key areas such as health and education and energy efficiency applications; and

·         connect our big cities and regional centres.

 

The NBN will deliver affordable, high speed broadband services to all Australians, no matter where they live or work.

 

The agreement between National Broadband Co (NBN) and Telstra means that the NBN can be built cheaper, quicker, with less unnecessary duplication, faster take-up of services and less overhead cabling.

 

Thousands of Australians will get broadband faster.

This agreement will create greater competition in the market and will lead to cheaper broadband for Australians.

 

By delivering super fast broadband to all Australian households and businesses, we will increase productivity and build a stronger Australian economy.
