Metro Screen

NBN Network

The single biggest opportunity for the screen industries

This moment will be forever remembered as the time when Australia rose above petty politics or succumbed to the will of egos and media titans. The NBN policy debate is at a critical point with far reaching effects for anyone working with moving image, on all screens.

Nick Paine made national headlines with a petition to Tony Abbott post-election, collecting over 260,000 signatures of people requesting “The Liberal Party of Australia: Reconsider your plan for a 'FTTN' NBN in favour of a superior 'FTTH' NBN”. The petition itself is a fantastic explanation of the technical aspects being debated as well as links to many great online resources.
