Global Broadband Futures is a new one-day event in Sydney, bringing together the best carrier technologists and executives from around the world to meet with Australian companies, operators and media.

Due to limited upload bandwidth, I have only been able to upload NBN Co CEO Bill Morrow's speech thus far, preceded by an introduction by NBN Co Public Affairs Manager, Tony Brown.
The rest of the presentations recorded thus far are being slowly uploaded as we speak. If only we had tens of megabits of upload capacity, I'd have streamed the event live in 1080P or even 4K, but sadly, that's not yet possible, or at least, not with the equipment I have to hand.
So, here's NBN Co CEO Bill Morrow, preceded by Tony Brown, with Morrow giving a wrap on the NBN Co's history, through to where it is today in 2017, and the various things that have happened in between.
