More than 8 million broadband connections now on NBN
More than 8.1 million household and business services are now connected to the NBN, according to the ACCC’s Wholesale Market Indicators Report released today.
The 3.6 per cent growth in the December 2020 quarter, which saw an additional 279,347 new households and businesses connect to the NBN, coincided with the Minister for Communications declaring in late 2020 that the NBN build was complete and fully operational.
Almost 5.5 million broadband connections, or 68 per cent of all services acquired from NBN, are on higher speed tiers of 50Mbps and above, including about 16 per cent of wholesale services acquired at speeds of 100Mbps or above.

Mary Rowe, who is the president and CEO of the Canadian Urban Institute, was one of the speakers during the event and said now is the time to get creative with the empty landmark and all ideas should be discussed.

Food robots have been around for a few years but haven t been widely adopted in the US until last year. Facing severe labor shortages and a proposed increase to the federal minimum wage, chains are starting to take a closer look at robots with the biggest experiment to date happening at White Castle.
The iconic slider chain is testing a robotic fry cook by Miso Robotics. Flippy is frying everything from tater tots to chicken strips.
Before the pandemic, Miso Robotics was hearing from fast-food operators about the multiple challenges they face: rising minimum wage, delivery boom, high operational costs, and labor shortages.
