Looks pretty interesting. Anyone interested in participating in the Sydney leg?

You can contribute online, and there are also remote community events happening in Sydney (Parramatta as opposed to the main event in Kensington), Melbourne, Brisbane and maybe one or two others. So why would you bother? Well this forum is about creating business cases for how the NBN can be used which will help with ensuring the infrastructure rolled out is as open and useful as possible to future uses and business models. If any of you have opinions about infrastructure, bandwidth or ideas for how to avoid it being limited then you should have your say either online through their consultation tools or through one of the group events. Remember, informative and constructive input is the best way to achieve your goals. Below is the invitation to the Melbourne event as an example :) Hope to see some of you contribute :) There is a lot of awesome expertise and knowledge in our community, hence I will always try to ensure you know about important consultations that I hear about. Cheers, Pia (disclaimer: I work for Senator Lundy and am helping garner community input to the consultation - just in case anyone doesn't know my work status :) From: Keith De La Rue [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 4 December 2009 4:59 PM Subject: Broadband future - Register now!
