FED:NBN business case release likely next week

CANBERRA, Dec 10 AAP - Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has indicated the 400-page
business case for the national broadband network (NBN) will be released next week.

Senator Conroy hinted earlier this week there could be a delay in releasing the financial
statements of the $36 billion project.

But a spokeswoman for the minister told AAP on Friday the business case for the NBN
would be released in December, as originally promised, during the next week.

"We do have a day in mind," she said.

The federal government released a 36-page summary in November which revealed the project
would cost $7 billion less than originally anticipated.

The documents did not contain revenue projections.
