NetThing – Round Table

Have you heard about NetThing? We are excited to announce that we will be facilitating a round table focusing on Internet as an Essential Service and how this classification would affect the rules and regulation for broadband Internet services.  

We plan to explore what classifying the Internet as an essential service would entail and its broader implications for digital inclusion, minimum service level requirements and digital infrastructure investment. We will moderate a discussion incorporating the perspectives of consumers, civil society, regulators and the various players right across the internet industry.  

Our participants include representatives of the ACCC, Communications Alliance, Legal Aid NSW, Infrastructure Australia, Arnotts as well as consumers and service providers from right across the spectrum. 

This event should be both insightful and incredibly useful if the rules for service change!   

Register now if you would like to attend our round table or any other events NetThing has to offer.

A great event showcasing both our association and the Australian Institute of Office Professionals (AIOP). Beginning with a guided tour through the Pan Pacific hotel, as well as coffee and high tea, attendees were treated to an hour of presentations from the incredible speakers. 

Kitty Hibble presented our association and engaged us all with our story. Outlining where we came from to where we are now, while sharing significant milestones in our history and teaching attendees on what an IXP is and what it does for Australia’s Internet. We could not be prouder of her! 

Christine Stewart, recent National President of the Australian Institute of Office Professionals, shared their journey focusing on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on their core business, and their multifaceted response. 

This event was insightful, interesting and informative and we look forward to Associations Forum’s next fantastic event!
