NBN to trial council-subsidised fibre - Communications - News

NBN to trial council-subsidised fibre - Communications - News: "The National Broadband Network Company (NBN Co) will allow communities in Tasmania to fund a 'network extension process' in a trial that would see NBN fibre delivered to areas outside the 93 per cent footprint of the fibre component of the network.

At a Parliamentary inquiry in Sydney this morning, NBN Co CEO Mike Quigley revealed that the seven sites in Tasmania — at which NBN Co announced yesterday Conneq would start construction in May — will be part of the trial where councils outside the 93 per cent could opt to pay to have fibre installed."
