On 7 April 2009 the Federal Government terminated the previous National Broadband Network Request for Proposals process and replaced it with a NBN policy which the Government proposes would connect 90 per cent of Australian homes, workplaces and schools with fibre-to-the-premise, and all other premises in Australia with next generation wireless and satellite technologies. On 14 May 2009, the Senate revised the Committee's terms of appointment to reflect the change in the Government's policy direction. The Committee has since called for further submissions on its revised terms of reference. On the back of his recent presentation of the Bullseye Report, 'business@100Mbps: A View of the Firm of the Future'  to delegates at the AFR Broadband Conference, Jim has been asked by the Federal Government to submit the whitepaper and appear as a witness to the Senate Select Committee.

Jim will appear before the Committee on August 5, 2009
