Australia is well positioned in the global economy
The future – driven by what sector?
2015
• Simply put, ‘services’ are…
“Anything you can’t drop on your foot”, or
“Anything you can’t put in a box and ship”, or
- John Harvey, IBM
“People doing something for other people for value”
- Ravi Namane, UCalif Berkeley
What are we talking about?
*Services gross value added, i.e. the difference between the value of goods and services produced and the cost of raw materials and other inputs which are used up in production.

Enabling the Services EconomyNational Broadband Network for Australia
• NBN will connect:• 93% homes, schools and workplaces
with fibre to the premises (FTTP) • 100 megabits per second (Mbps)
• Remaining 7% with wireless and satellite technologies
• 12 Mbp (1-3 Mbp Uplink)
The true potential of the NBN is in providing access to high speed, reliable communications to all Australians. Symmetric data rates means users can contribute to significant content creation.
What are we doing? Broadband Innovation
Enable services for broadband
Ensure everyone gets symmetric
access
Change the way people can interactwith the technology
Financial Services Innovation TransferWise - the Skype of currency exchange
• TransferWise gives all customers access to the mid-market exchange rates that banks use on interbank market, with a flat fee of £1 for each transaction regardless of the amount being exchanged.
• Matching those that need to convert money each way – peer to peer.• A disruptive business model to Bank Forex
Broadband InnovationWhatsapp - SMS Game Changer
WhatsApp is a cross-platform mobile short messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without paying for SMS. WhatsApp uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing.After registering your phone number Whatsapp automatically discovers other contacts in your phone.A disruptive technology to Telco – SMS revenue (like international call revenue) will become seriously compromised.
National Broadband: The health care challenge
Health expenditure in excess of $110 billion, accounts for over 9% of Australia’s GDP
New cost-effective services must be developed to meet the needs of the health system, the hospital,
the doctor and the patient
Innovative health servicesVirtual Critical Care Unit (ViCCU)
Katoomba Hospital
Nepean Hospital
Gbit link using State Rail fibre
ViCCU proven in clinical trials to be effective with over 501 patients treated over 18 months.
NBN ready – Bandwidth 70 megabits per sec required.

NBN – A new National Challenge –Wireless Broadband Technologies
• Bringing high-speed broadband internet access of 100Mbps to rural and remote areas of Australia.
NBN Challenge CSIRO – Rural Broadband access @ 100 Mbps• CSIRO patented technologies• Re-use existing broadcasting infrastructure• Beamform signals to individual households • Requires reallocation of 56Mhz VHF/UHF analog TV spectrum• Research underway – technology is undergoing field trials with NBN• Tailored solution suitable ONLY for rural, remote and regional access

Paradigm shift in water quality monitoring
• 1 sample / day (week)• Labour intensive• Weather dependant• Bad temporal resolution
• 1 sample every 2 hours• High cost• Bad spatial resolution
• 1 sample / minute• Low cost• Robust (redundancy)• High spatial resolution• High temporal resolution
Improved water servicesUsing water quality measurements
• Closing the loop between modeling and real world observation• Calibrating water quality models• Enabling real time event detection and decision making

Data IntegrationFocus on the interoperability of existing data sets pertinent to natural resources management
Reporting and Visualisation SystemsFocus on the provision of a system of web-based reporting tools to suit different end-users
Modelling and Forecasting SystemsFocus on the implementation of accounting and forecasting tools linked to interoperable data sources
Sensorisation ProgramFocus on improving natural resource monitoring
Standards & Access
Focus on the development and promulgation of interoperability standards and inter-agency agreements for sharing data
Ability to link data and models and report results via a common web interface
Cross-jurisdictional agreements on data sharing, security and access protocols

Summary of Opportunities & Issues
Opportunities• NBN to drive innovation in Service-driven applications World• Data-driven World with Scale and Complexity• Location-aware Things
Issues• No enterprise or entity can own the whole information value chain• Governments are cooperating on collection and access to data,
creating room for industry-led services innovation• Data access and ownership, including provenance and audit-ability • Standardised service interfaces, otherwise every product is bespoke
with unmanageable maintenance overhead• Creates high dependencies on information service platforms for
currency and reliability (otherwise lots of re-engineering)
