Senator Conroy today announced that the government would be spending $23.5 million to develop NBN hubs in first and second release sites to raise “knowledge, awareness and access” to the new fibre network.
The hubs will be built at the 40 first and second release sites across the country, and will house networked terminals so residents can experience the benefits of the NBN before they sign up for NBN services themselves. It’s an effort to try and counter some of the scepticism and apathy certain members of the community feel towards the national broadband scheme.
