The federal government will establish its own company to build the national broadband network. The network, described as the single biggest infrastructure project in Australian history, will be built in partnership with the private sector. Private sector investment in the new network will be capped at 49 per cent. But the Opposition says there is no proof that the scheme will be commercially viable.
