David O'Byrne - who replaced former Premier David Bartlett in the ministerial position less than a fortnight ago - told ABC Northern Tasmania radio's drive program presenter, Roisin McCann, that recent issues around whether fibre would be installed at locations such as Bell Bay, Meander Valley and the East Tamar region in the mid-north of the state would be resolved through regular communication with the National Broadband Network (NBN) wholesaler and its Tasmanian subsidiary, NBN Tasmania.

"We're committed where there are concerns raised by sections of the community that may not get complete access to fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) that we want to sit down and see if we can deliver," he said on radio.

"I'm very keen to roll up my sleeves and get into the negotiations to ensure we can maximise the opportunities the NBN presents by getting it to as many communities and as many businesses as possible."

However, he warned that not all issues would be resolved and some areas were likely to miss out on the coveted fibre technology.

"You'd really like to, in a perfect world, switch on and roll out the NBN to all parts of the community, but this is staged approach and it's important we get a mix of business and a mix of obviously retail, but households as well."
