Communications Day – story of the week The story of the week relates to the levy for the Regional Broadband Scheme. The Minister, Anika Wells, has announced a 74% reduction in the levy, with the announcement coming on the last parliamentary sitting day of the year before the statutory five-year review deadline. The change will have a significant effect on the industry as a whole, while the levy itself is "a rounding error in NBN Co’s accounts".
