The Federal Government announced Dr Switkowski’s reappointment, saying he had done an outstanding job as Chair of the NBN Co board since his appointment in 2013.
In a joint statement Communications Minister Paul Fletcher and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said Dr Switkowski, along with Stephen Rue (and before him Bill Morrow) and the NBN Co executive team, had been “instrumental in transforming NBN Co over the last six years and achieving a remarkable rate of growth in the rollout”.
The Ministers said NBN Co is now on track to complete the build phase next year, and each week 43,000 premises are becoming ready to connect and 39,700 premises are taking up NBN services.
