Can you imagine a world where every household device is seamlessly connected and your internet speed is never a concern? Join us as we sit down with Robert Joyce, Head of Customer Strategy and Innovation at NBN, to uncover the incredible journey of fibre and connectivity evolution in Australia.

Venture into the transformative impact that the National Broadband Network has had across both rural and urban landscapes of Australia. With internet speeds skyrocketing from a mere 384 kilobits per second to a blazing one gigabit per second, activities like 4K streaming, remote work, and gaming have become effortlessly accessible. Robert provides a visionary outlook on the expected shift of broadcast TV to streaming platforms, underscoring how this evolution will redefine video delivery and spectrum usage. We also highlight the ever-growing number of connected devices in the average household and the implications for future connectivity demands.
Finally, we delve into the significant advantages that fibre optics hold over traditional copper networks. Robert sheds light on how fibre is not only a faster and more reliable option but also a greener, more environmentally friendly choice that saves energy by eliminating the need for repeaters. We also touch on the complexities of deploying such advanced infrastructure across Australia's diverse terrain and the importance of modern in-home Wi-Fi setups to truly harness the power of high-speed connectivity.
