The National Broadband Network (NBN) is a national digital infrastructure project being constructed over the next decade to deliver high-speed broadband services to all Australian premises. Much of the discussion on the NBN to date has been on the physical construction ramp and rollout progress of the project. Thousands of engineering and construction people are building the physical network; there are equally thousands of people developing the applications and new services that will run over the NBN. This article on the NBN Broadband Applications Canvas explores the investment and activity in Australia happening around the NBN in research, broadband application development and case studies of people using the national broadband network and future possibilities to exploit the full potential of the NBN.
