An ACCAN submission to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Infrastructure and Communications.

In this submission ACCAN informs the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Infrastructure and Communications that the NBN has the potential to contribute to Australia in a significant way. In order for the NBN to be most beneficial to Australians, ACCAN believes that there are a number of key enabling policies that need to be in place relating to ubiquity, computer literacy and applications for people with a disability.

ACCAN takes the postion that the NBN as has the potential to open up new opportunities for the most disadvantaged people in our community and to create a range of new educational and economic benefits as the effect of geographic isolation is reduced.
