According to the minister of communication and ministry of health, National Broadband Network will roll out a new plan for customers and stroke patients will also get benefited highly from this service. Digital economy senator Stephen Conroy said that, “The NBN will change the way people in Australia live and work and today we are seeing how it will change the way health services are delivered. Neuroscience Research Australia will deliver rehabilitation therapy via a project using remote Wii. The project will use Nintendo Wii to deliver rehabilitation to 50 people with stroke-affected hands and arms living in the Kiama Downs and Minnamurra region.”

In Australia stroke is the second largest disability affecting innumerous people and families every year. Rehabilitation service is out of reach for most of the stroke victims as they live in rural and remote areas. Thanks to NBN it will change quality of life for most of the stroke patients; they can learn the rehabilitation techniques from being at home comfortably with a few clicks in computer.  Medical practitioners can also train them at ease from being at their residence or home.



The National Broad band Network of Australia has proposed to expand its broadband network with $43 billion to provide remote education. The Northern territory would experience vast benefits with the upgrade of the broadband services said Gould, Director of Information Technology, Charles Darwin University.

Mr.Gould also said that, “To be kind to the current system, we’ve essentially been operating with technology worthy of the Dark Ages,” He also added that, “An upgrade of current limited bandwidth in the Territory has been long overdue, and will essentially bring us on to a level playing field with other states and universities.”The Governments $25 million for implementation broadband services will create a turning point around the country.

University main markets were overseas and interstate and this upgrading will result in great benefits to online education said Mr.Gould. He also quoted that, “The possibilities surrounding online education and the delivery of remote education to communities in the NT will be multiplied tenfold, it’s an upgrade we desperately need and one that should have the support of every IT enthusiast in the country.”

The Australian Government has announced recently that they would be setting up a high speed broad band service to all its customers through National Broadband Network (NBN). Mr. Abbott, the leader of opposition said that, “I do not think a $43 billion broadband network is necessary, it is merely a recreation of the nationalized telecommunication company”

Federal member of Barker, Mr.Secker said that, “This is just another example of the incompetence of this Labour government.” He also quoted that, “Labour went to the last election promising 99 per cent coverage for $4.7 billon, not the 43 billion they are talking about now, We said it wouldn’t work and we were right”

Tony, the spokes man of opposite communication said that, “the Coalition would scrap the NBN and replace it with a different and more responsible scheme.”
But Mr. Secker said that, “We were covering virtually every Australian with our system at a lot more efficient cost and without the philosophical problems that Labour with private enterprise delivering something that can be dome far better than government, We had system in place that was going to work quite well,”

Conroy, the communications minister said that, “Australia has the third most expensive and slowest broadband for small businesses across the whole Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development”.
But Australia’s National Broad Band Network (NBN) would benefit thousands of citizens by providing high speed broadband at affordable rates.
