The government is considering new ways that NBN fixed wireless and satellite services can be funded.
nbn delivers high-speed broadband across all Australia including in regional and remote areas. Nbn currently uses the money it makes from delivering broadband in highly populated areas to fund (or cross-subsidise) fixed wireless and satellite broadband in areas with low populations. We refer to broadband in these areas as ‘non-commercial services’.
So nbn can continue to deliver fixed wireless and satellite services, we need to find out how much it costs and consider ways that other telecommunications companies can help pay for these services.
