The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy has provided the following answer to the honourable member's question:

(1) The following Deeds of Agreement, parties, by geographical location, have been entered into for the provision of services related to the Digital Switchover Scheme

(2) Service charges under the Deeds of Agreement are not disclosed. Disclosure of this material would compromise future negotiations with tenderers in remaining switchover areas.
