EDITOR'S NOTE

Good Afternoon,

Opposition Senator Nick Minchin has served a Freedom of Information request to force the Government to release the reports that guided the cancellation of the NBN tender.

Meanwhile, industry groups continue to jostle for a position of influence around the NBN. Now networking vendor Alcatel-Lucent has established its own NBN taskforce to work out how it might profit from a network rollout.

Also, don't miss our exclusive coverage of the AusCERT security conference in the Gold Coast today, which will continue over the coming week.
