VIC:Melbourne suburb set for NBN connection

It's been turned on in Tasmania and New South Wales, now Victoria is set to connect
to the high speed fibre-optic national broadband network.

Part of Brunswick, in Melbourne's inner north, will be the first Victorian area to
be plugged in to the NBN cable today, the first metropolitan area to join.

Federal Communications Minister STEPHEN CONROY will be at Brunswick Town Hall to mark
the occasion.

Last month he connected Kiama Downs and Minnamurra on the NSW south coast, Armidale
in northern NSW in May, and three Tasmanian towns in August last year.
