Under $3bn program.
NBN Co is starting to contract out the overbuild of parts of the fibre-to-the-node network with full fibre, with four construction partners brought in to perform the work.
Four construction partners - Downer Group, Fulton Hogan Utilities, Lendlease Services and Ventia-owned Visionstream Australia - will handle over a billion dollars of work under what NBN Co is calling ‘the N2P Evolution’.
This refers to a plan to overbuild half of the FTTN network with fibre at a cost of almost $3 billion.
Ventia was first to disclose Visionstream s deal yesterday, noting it had picked up $400 million of work.
