[Chapter-delegates] ISOC-AU gives evidence to the Australian Senate

[Tony Hill]

I was called to give evidence before a select committee of the  
Australian Parliament.  They are inquiring on the Australian plans for  
our National Broadband Network.

Now there is a handsard transcript of the evidence, available as a  
proof copy, online at:
http://www.aph.gov.au/hansard/senate/commttee/S12976.pdf

The evidence includes the following topics of discussion:
*  role of ISOC and IETF
*  interaction of bandwidth and Internet technology
*  key importance of competition policy
*  why NBN as a fibre to the premises initiative, should attend to  
layer 3 issues, as well as layer 2
*  why NBN should pay attention to national implementation of IPv6,  
and how this relates to layer 3 vs layer 2

I am the first speaker of a number giving evidence on that day.

I hope this transcript is helpful to other ISOC chapters and members.   
It is always difficult to find time to talk about the basics, and I  
hope this government transcript helps to capture some of those.

Happy to have any subsequent discussion or comments.

regards, Tony
