Australian government guarantees pricing on NBN upgrades

The Labor Government in Australia has given a written commitment to regional Independent MPs Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor to keep uniform wholesale prices for high-speed services across fiber , wireless and satellite on the National Broadband Network as soon as future upgrades increase speeds on the latter two technologies. Government amendments to NBN legislation circulated last week specified that while the basic 12Mbps package on the NBN would be the same $24 wholesale price on fibre, satellite and wireless, the prices for higher speeds would not be the same between the technologies.
