EDITOR'S NOTE

Good Afternoon,

Today's top story is the list of submissions to the NBN regulatory reform discussion paper, published late this afternoon by the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (DBCDE).

Meanwhile, we leave you with a summary of the most important submission - how Telstra proposes it should be regulated into the future.
