The federal government has begun rolling out its National Broadband Network (NBN) with the plan of connecting all Australians with faster broadband. The current policy ensures 93% of the population is connected to Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) technology as opposed to the Coalition’s Fiber to the Node (FTTN) technology.
