The president of a professional IT lobby group has taken NBN Co chief executive Bill Morrow to task over his reported comments that gamers were to blame for congestion on the NBN fixed wireless network at peak times and they may be subject to lower speeds in order to fix the problem.

The chief of NBN Co, the company rolling out Australia's national broadband network, has blamed gamers for congestion at peak times on the fixed wireless network and hinted that they may be subject to slower speeds to fix the problem.

The news that the staff at NBN Co are paid handsomely from the public purse comes in the same week that a study showed chief executives' pay in the US to be up to 5000 times that of an average worker in the companies they headed.
