Expert comment on making the NBN mandatory –
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has said he would use federal laws to
force people on to the national broadband network (NBN) if the states and
territories do not make connections mandatory.
Should NBN connections be made compulsory?
What will be the benefits for customers in connecting to the NBN?
What will be the future of the project if states and territories do not work with the
Federal Government on the NBN?
What will happen to people with standard telephones - will they lose access if they
do not select the NBN?
RMIT University’s Dr Mark Gregory is an expert on telecommunications and
network engineering.
He is a Senior Lecturer in Network Engineering at RMIT’s School of Electrical and
Computer Engineering.
Dr Gregory is available for comment on the latest developments with the NBN.
