Huawei Technologies Australia Chief Technology Officer, David Soldani, has launched an attack on the government’s management of the National Broadband Network, describing the $51 billion project as a ‘catastrophe’.

Mr Soldani listed 200,000 homes that have not been able to get 25 megabits per second and now the fixed wireless network is delivering only approximately 6 megabits per second to each end-user premises at peak hour.

The senior executive says the NBN project has failed and Australia needs to stop expecting NBN to deliver high-speed broadband.
