Planning Deficiencies and Telecommunication Infrastructure
In 2009, the Australian government began constructing a National Broadband Network (NBN), which was expected to provide high-speed broadband coverage across the nation. The paper focuses on the early NBN rollout period of 2009–2013 and questions to what extent planning strategies and policies at federal, state and local levels responded to the urban and regional possibilities of telecommunication infrastructure, whether economic, social or otherwise. Key findings highlight a range of political issues around telecommunication infrastructure provision, reveal inconsistencies in policies at different levels of government that exacerbated the segregation of infrastructure and strategic planning, and point out policy gaps regarding the role of telecommunication in practice.
