The
Role
of
Satellite
in
the
Australian
NBN’.
How
development
of a
single
National
Broadband
Network,
using
a
space-ground
merged
architecture
(including
Internet
Routing
in
Space),
can
create
new
service
opportunities
for
government
and
consumers.
This
will
include
the
transition
of
satellite
from
Megahertz
provider,
through
to
the
delivery
of
Megabits
and
eventually
Megabytes,
and
how
cloud-based
services
and
high-speed
on-demand
broadband
from
space
can
drive
new
capabilities.
As
an
example,
I
will
cover
how
high-speed
broadband
may
have
provided
critical
services
during
the
Victorian
bushfires,
and
how
consumer
mobility
services
may
be
delivered
in
the
future.’
