I don’t discuss FTTN on the blog, because it’s not one of the options currently on the table. There is no political party or Telso proposing it, so what’s the point?

  • You seemed to have missed Sunday, April 17, 2011 @ 9:05PMIn reply to The Seven Myths Of The NBN : You seemed to have missed commenting on two significant “myths”… 1. Lack of transparency - the Government having done everything in its power to ensure the Australian public is not fully informed of the case for the NBN and the financial costs, opportunity costs and risks that going with it? 2. Cost - both the staggeringly high forecast number and the ...
  • Perifidious, It is Sunday, April 17, 2011 @ 9:05PMIn reply to The Seven Myths Of The NBN : Perifidious, It is definitely possible for the backbone to ‘sell’ connection, and fibre is generally the best solution - the exception usually remote areas.

In time, I believe it will become more popular for the home or business user - especially as people’s economic lives ...

Here’s my reply to your blog as requested: The NBN won’t be leaving copper “nodes” in place, because in many cases nodes don’t really exist.

  • NBN/Invig Just to throw in Sunday, April 17, 2011 @ 9:05PMIn reply to The Seven Myths Of The NBN : NBN /Invig Just to throw in my 2 cents on the technical aspects.

  • Excellent article, although Sunday, April 17, 2011 @ 9:05PMIn reply to The Seven Myths Of The NBN : Excellent article, although the final myth really ties in with the first myth; that private enterprise could do it better.

However, for those who are polarised and paranoid, they would ...

One of the greatest case studies ever for free market champions. Obvious at the outset that it was going to end in disaster. Just a question of which form the disaster would take…. When I think Pink Batts I always think of the quote “Government is not the solution…..Government is the problem.”

  • I still think the main Thursday, February 17, 2011 @ 8:13PMIn reply to Australia Post Goes Postal : I still think the main question is whether post offices are to be seen, as I do, as a community, essential service and as such, the profit model should not rule supreme. Post Office assets- such as the buildings they were housed in, should never have been sold off to private ownership and this should have been entered into by way of contracts when ...
