I welcome our witnesses to this discussion on the national broadband plan. We have heard from witnesses, particularly from the Department, who have spoken about broadband being the game changer for the next 20 or 30 years. I would like some information on the speeds that will be provided in future. We have had presentations from the Department concerning elearning, efarming and ehealth. Developments in those areas will require major changes and high speeds. How would the witnesses fit their criteria within the context of the speeds required? Are they happy that their technology has the potential to provide those speeds?
