The NBN Co Forum was held in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney during the first half November providing Access Seekers, Government, industry and local community groups insight into what NBN Co has achieved in 2011 and what is planned for the year ahead. It was also an opportunity to learn how the National Broadband Network is being built to help create an exciting digital future for Australia.
