Well, Turnbull's strategic review is out. And whilst we're all likely to get the rubbish mixed-technology mix option (some FTTP, some FTTN and some HFC) due to the headline cost of building the network, the NPV savings over FTTP are miniscule once we factor in the need to upgrade to something

Thanks for the update Ken. Haven't read it yet but will do so. I'd love to see FTTP done if it can be rolled out in a commercial way, with commercial timeframes. The previous plan sounded nice but didn't look like it'd happen in my working lifetime so it was irrelevant to me anyway: It'd

You just need to move to Brunswick. My brother has it on - 100 Mbps down 40 Mbps up, and there is talk of providing 1Gbps soon. I am 150 metres from the NBN and looks like I won't be getting it - but I have Telstra Cable, 100Mbps down 2Mbps up. Do look at the figures. At a cursory glance it

First we have to agree, strategically, what we want (or should have). Then we can argue about implementation details. That said, we will never get anything built if each individual person puts their own caveats on how a country-wide piece of infrastructure is going to be built. We are just

Hi Ken, There are lots of these sorts of infrastructure projects that I'd like to see completed but yes I do have an interest in completion dates, if I'm expected to help fund it. I do have an interest in my kids being able to use it but I can't see any reason why it couldn't be done sooner in

Of course, I'm interested in why they are so interested in building non-productive infrastructure, such as roads, that we spend, maybe 1 hour a day on, yet we often spend 8+ hours of our time, many of them productive (for some of us, anyway), on computers, yet they won't invest in a productive

I love the idea of the country building infrastructure. It's the speed of public projects here that concerns me. For example, we've been talking about high-speed rail for how long? China started planning in the early 1990's and by 2015 looks like they will have completed 18,000 km of

Come on, Malcolm has promised you 1Gbps by 2030, what more could you want? (Meanwhile, my bro' should be enjoying his 1Gbps early next year, unless they decide to crush that delivery for political reasons.) From: GregAtGregLowDotCom [mailto:g...@greglow.com] Sent: Thursday, 12 December 2013
