Federal Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has told ABC Local Radio that Tasmanian Liberal leader Will Hodgman has convinced him to look further into the option of using Aurora Energy power poles to deliver the NBN.

Tasmanian Liberal Leader Will Hodgman may not be the only one drinking the "fibre-to-the-premises Kool Aid" after he offered Federal Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull a taste in a meeting earlier this week.

One day after desrcibing Mr Hodgman's enthusiasm for a full fibre-optic NBN as drinking the "fibre-to-the-premises Kool aid", Mr Turnbull says that Mr Hodgman has convinced him to look into using state-owned power poles to deliver the NBN.

Mr Hogman flew to Canberra to meet with Mr Turnbull nearly one week after NBN Co Chairman Ziggy Switkowski announced that Tasmania would receive a mixed-technology NBN rollout.

Mr Hodgman has remained quiet on the exact details of the meeting however, Mr Turnbull told Leon Compton on the ABC Statewide Mornings program that Mr Hodgman made a very "considered and detailed proposal".

"The proposal related to conducting fibre-to-the-premises-trials in Tasmania using Aurora's aerial assets.

"Will's argument basically goes like this - I understand that fiscal responsibility is central but, because there is a greater extent of aerial infrastructure in Tasmania why don't you conduct some trials and see how close the cost of fibre-to-the-premises, using the aerial infrastructure, can come down to the point where it is comparable to the fibre-to-the-node approach that is being recommended in the strategic review," said Mr Turnbull

The meeting comes after Mr Hodgman was recorded on ABC cameras earlier in the week saying to a Liberal colleague that the issue of the NBN could cost his party the state election.

Mr Turnbull says while NBN Co are looking seriously into conducting the trials they would not be done and completed before the state election.

"We're taking the proposal onboard and we're doing quite a bit of work at the NBN CO now to see if we can progress that idea of some trials and really test this proposition that Tasmania's different and the cost structure is different because of these aerial assets," said Mr Turnbull.

The propsal to use Aurora Energy's infrastructure was first introduced last year by Lara Giddings and, the Tasmanian Premier says she's pleased Mr Turnbull "has the door open" to the Labor party's proposal regarding optic fibre over powerlines.

"We're very happy to work with him on any of those options there," said Ms Gidddings.
