EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

Senator Conroy's appearance at this morning's ATUG conference in Sydney was rather hotly anticipated.

He chose to focus his 30 minutes or so on two fronts - more or less asking the industry to give his Government enough time and trust to make the right NBN and net filtering decisions respectively.

As you'll see from the NBN piece, at least Conroy is enjoying the speculation. Just as well, because he should see plenty more as month-end draws near.
