This growth makes it harder for wireline operators because overall consumer spend on telecoms has long since ceased to grow in developed economies.”

Detailed financial and operational information regarding the NBN has been released in NBN Co’s Corporate Plan, which incorporates forecasts covering a 30-year period.

The plan also assumes the successful conclusion of a deal with Telstra.

The plan outlines competitive pricing for wholesale broadband including a basic service offering with a download speed of 12/1 megabits per second (Mbps) at a uniform national wholesale access price of $24 a month.

NBN Co CEO Mike Quigley said the plan’s data demonstrates the company’s ability to realise the Government’s policy of providing broadband throughout metropolitan, regional and rural Australia in a cost-effective way.
