Welcome to the Network Insight Institute

The Network Insight Institute is an independent non-profit centre of ideas and information, focused on communications. We harness valuable market information for leading corporations in media, telecoms and e-commerce; and for the community.  We provide seminars, workshops, briefings and publications.

The Institute takes a broad, cross-platform view on the future of the ICT industries – drawing together the diverse sub-sectors such as telecommunications, platform technology, the press, broadcasting, publishing and online services.

Upcoming events, current projects and recent events

  • Communications Policy & Research Forum 2010
    15-16 November 2010 - The CPRF is a research oriented forum open to all viewpoints; a co-operative effort by policy & research centres. Interest areas include ICT, digital media, telecoms, broadcasting, communications culture, Internet and e-commerce.
  • The Future Communications Policy Matrix
    This project opens the way for fresh thinking about communications policy with a focus on the years beyond 2010. Its purpose is to provide a repository for ideas to implement in future, and to encourage debate about proposals that could become law in a future Communications Act.
  • Executive Government and Media Independence
    This project investigates the current distribution of official powers over communications services in Australia. It includes audiovisual services such as broadcasting, Internet, mobile, IPTV and other platforms. These are the areas where the powers of executive government are the most sensitive; but there are related issues in the fields of spectrum allocation, licensing and planning.
  • The Year Ahead in Communications 2010
    14-15 May 2010 - Every year, we organise a workshop to offer our sponsors and advisers the best possible insight into issues which will affect them in the next 12 months. It is an agenda-setting event, and the only one of our events held behind closed doors, to preserve candour in business projections.
  • The NBN and TV
    22 October 2009 - This seminar was about what form will television and audiovisual services take in the NBN era? Who will use and fund them, and what policy changes will be needed?
  • Broadcasting and Broadband
    1 October 2009 - This seminar was about the new audiovisual channels, and channels about to launch. The purpose was to help people understand what new services are most likely to succeed, what they mean for existing services, and what policy changes are needed.
