On June 25, 2026, NBN Co received TM Forum Level 4 Autonomy validation for Service Assurance, becoming the first organization in Australia to secure this recognition. The validation covers an automated service assurance system deployed on NBN Co's Fixed Wireless network, developed with support from Ericsson. Earlier, on June 24, a report highlighted that property developers must now prioritize connectivity as a fundamental aspect of projects from planning to handover. This follows the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) publishing the final edition of its eight-year Measuring Broadband Australia program on June 17, which revealed that households on fixed-line NBN connections achieved an average of 99.4 percent of their advertised download speed during peak evening hours.
