2012 NBN symposium

NBN_imageIn October 2012 the Faculty of Arts and Design hosted a symposium concerning the future of the National Broadband Network (NBN). Converging on an NBN Future: Content, Connectivity, and Control brought together scholars, industry analysts and government regulators and policy makers to address the important issues faced as the NBN commences widespread operations in Australia.

The symposium was part of an ongoing investigation of the 'Broadband and Society' research team launched in October 2011, in order to systematically review the users, industries and the government in adopting new technologies.

Speakers on the day included international and interstate guests, and industry representatives.
