The National Broadband Network is a proposed Fibre to the Node (FTTN) and/or Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) network in Australia. The Australian Government has called for proposals to build an Open Access Network providing download speeds of 12 Megabits per second or more to at least 98% of Australian homes and businesses, for which it is offering to contribute up to A$4.7 billion, in the form of a public private partnership. It will be the largest single infrastructure investment in Australia's history

But as telecoms analyst Paul Budde states, the FttN proposed for Australia is already out of date, with FttH the preferred standard being rolled out overseas.
