Getting the Job Done: Delivering the National Broadband Network
The construction of the NBN is the biggest infrastructure project in Australiaâs history with the network being built under intense political and media scrutiny. TelSoc is delighted that the person chiefly responsible for building the NBN, Kathrine Dyer, Chief Network Deployment Officer at NBN Co, will be the Charles Todd Orator for 2018.
The NBN has changed many times in complexity and composition, but it is now running at high speed and set for completion in the next two years. What does it take to get this mammoth task done?
Please note this year?s Charles Todd Medal will be awarded to a recipient at this event, chosen by financial members of TelSoc.
Note, the venue for this year has been changed to Doltone House Hyde Park - see the following link for details:
