Leighton wins Tasmanian NBN broadband backbone project

Once complete, the Tasmanian leg of the NBN rollout will deliver wholesale-only, open access broadband network services. The fibre to the home network will deliver speeds of 100 megabits per second to 200,000 Tasmanian households and businesses. The remainder of premises will be served by next generation wireless or satellite services, offering speeds of 12 megabits per second or more.

First services from the Tasmanian leg of the NBN are expected to be switched on by mid-2010.
