Abstract:

This Report is about the potential benefits and other impacts that Next Generation Broadband (NGB) – exemplified in Australia by the National Broadband Network (NBN) – will bring to individuals, communities, businesses and governments. Attention is focussed on methods for measuring those impacts and maximizing net benefits, under a strategic framework that includes both social and economic factors. A research agenda for Australian policy and commercial strategy is proposed, together with a brief review of research in CSIRO. Key findings from the literature are highlighted, along with preliminary results from current CSIRO investigations.
