Wanted: Questions for Senator Conroy about the NBN

ARN is attending a lunch at the NSW Parliament on Thursday with Conroy and the AIIA so let us know what you want us to ask

With the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) holding a lunch this Thursday with Communications Minister, Senator Stephen Conroy, to discuss the future of high-speed broadband in Australia and the opportunities for the ICT industry, a rare opportunity to ask direct questions is available.

As such, we want you to let us know the questions about the potential opportunities created by the National Broadband Network (NBN) that you feel are most important.

Because we can't ask every question, the ARN team will choose the best three and endeavour to put them to the minister.

As there is no guarantee any questions will get answered by Conroy at the lunch - the Q&A session is only 10 minutes - we'll also follow up through his representatives.

Remember, the discussion is about the opportunities for the ICT industry - in areas such as e-Health, Smart Energy and e-Commerce - after the implementation of the NBN. So make sure your questions address these areas.

It's not often regular punters get a chance to put curly ones to the powers that be, so put your thinking cap on and post a question in the comments box below.

Why won't you demand the NBN join the Australian Employment Covenant (50,000 jobs scheme)?

Will the Government be making investments to help people in fields such as e-Health, Smart Energy and e-Commerce make the most of the NBN?

Would you be willing to risk a double-dissolution over the unpopular ISP filtering issue?

Will you write an opinion piece that explains why people should stop talking about overhead cabling and the cost of a contract for consumers?
