Australia, Japan reach broadband accord
Australia and Japan appear to have signed a bilateral agreement relating to broadband, with NBN chief executive Mike Quigley and other government officials having met with Japanese Communications Minister Kazuhiro Haraguchi this week, according to reports.
TMCNet.com reported a translation of a statement on the Japan Economic Newswire by Kyodo News this week that Haraguchi had agreed with Communications Minister Stephen Conroy to “strengthen bilateral cooperation in broadband technology”.
According to the publication, Australia’s National Broadband Network project dovetails with a similar project in Japan which is slated to give all households in the country fibre internet access through 2015. “The broadband accord came a day after Haraguchi reached agreements with Australian officials to strengthen cooperation in information and communications technology,” TMCNet.com reported.
However, it remains unclear exactly what both countries have agreed to.
