EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

This year's Federal Budget is one of consolidation and rationalisation for ICT writes John Hilvert, with an overview of all the budget spending and cuts likely to impact the sector.

Meanwhile, the budget papers revealed some new data on NBN Co's financial liability to Telstra, and there's more money for the ACCC to help expose trans-Tasman roaming costs.

We'll have more on the budget, including industry reaction, later today.
