Business Model Delivers Government Policy

Our business model is complimentary and compliant with Governments policy to deliver an open access national broadband network.

The NBN project will deliver an open access backbone network over the next 5 years and upgrade potentially to current community broadband services.

OPENetworks community networks extend the NBN into new Greenfield communities and deliver services which extend the open access concept beyond the core backbone NBN network.

Open Access community networks which deliver capacity way beyond the base desires of the Government can be delivered today. When the NBN is rolled out OPENetwork Digital Communities will interface at a backhaul level to further enhance services through access to the community by a wide choice of retail service providers.

Our business model delivers:

• open access (Government policy for next generation networks)
• competition at a retail level (ACCC governance)
• extended network capability beyond NBN base requirements
• future network interface to NBN
• flexibility in ownership of the network asset
• sinking fund trust for future network refresh
