Venue: Basement Theatre, Business and Economics
Presenters: Mr Mike Quigley
Mike Quigley was the first employee of NBN Co and its CEO for four years. In this talk, he reflects on the ups and downs of the National Broadband Network project over the last several years, and considers the various options to complete the NBN. This is an event for all those interested in connectivity and the upcoming federal election.
Only three short years ago, the National Broadband Network was a main focus of the federal election as each major party campaigned their vision of Australia's connected future. This coming federal election has seen less talk of the NBN perhaps as Australians have become disillusioned over promises made versus what has been rolled out.
Yet the impact of the NBN on the future of Australia's connectivity, technological developments, and networked society remains an important topic.
The Melbourne Networked Society in collaboration with TelSoc present this public lecture, which they hope will further inform and fuel conversation around the future of connectivity in Australia.
Mike Quigley is Adjunct Professor, School of Computing and Communications, University of Technology, Sydney and a graduate of the University of New South Wales with a degree in Physics and Mathematics and a degree in Electrical Engineering.
