NBN Co calls on ITU for advice on satellite orbital slots

NBN Co, the public-private company tasked with overseeing the management and construction of Australia’s National Broadband Network (NBN), has reportedly sought assurances from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) that it will be able to launch long-term satellites in 2015. According to iTnews, the development comes after concerns were raised by the opposition Coalition that the decision to purchase satellites despite not having acquired orbital slots for the craft could risk the satellite portion of the NBN project.
