With the NBN dealine tomorrow, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy could receive as many as four national bids and two state based bids for the project.

According to an article by Tracy Lee of the Financial Review, Axia has confirmed it will make a national bid as has Acacia.

This makes for four (and perhaps five) national bidders in Telstra, TERRiA, Axia, Acacia and maybe Singtel/Optus directly. On top of this there is also the state bids from the Aurora Energy (TAS) and TransACT (ACT).
