NBN Project Update
This week the NBN Reference Model working group will be busy reviewing the received comments on the NBN Reference Architecture – High Level Architecture Options for the NBN paper and incorporating as much of it as possible in a future update of the options paper. The Wholesale Services working group is preparing the next draft that will be released for comment. The Technical working group will also meet this week, and will continue its work on identifying any potential technical issues and validating the models being looked at in the various working groups.
Interested members are invited to register for the Project Teams, which will also provide full access to the NBN Wiki. Non-member organisations who have an interest in the NBN and meet the eligibility requirements for Communications Alliance membership can register as observers directly on the NBN Wiki.
