NBN

Senator Helen Polley’s letter on the NBN rollout (The Examiner, October 8) fails to acknowledge there is no HFC network in Tasmania, and ignores the evidence that the Coalition fixed the rollout mess left by Labor in Tasmania in 2013. Tasmania is now in the box seat for the NBN rollout. More than 177,000 addresses have access to superfast NBN broadband, more than 90,000 premises already have an active NBN connection. 62 per cent of the Tasmanian rollout is complete and all 280,000 premises will have access by 2018. I encourage Senator Polley and her Labor colleagues to constructively join the discussion about how Tasmanians can use the NBN to link more local businesses to mainland customers and the global marketplace; and help students achieve their educational goals and improve their employment prospects.
