Wireless, even 4G, will notSunday, April 17, 2011 @ 9:05PMIn reply to The Seven Myths Of The NBN : Wireless, even 4G, will not be a substitute for fibre. Here in Perth I have 4G wireless as a stopgap and it’s not as fast as the ADSL2 + delivered through copper wires that I was using. I’ll probably be going back to those copper wires soon.
What do you think of theSunday, April 17, 2011 @ 9:05PMIn reply to The Seven Myths Of The NBN : What do you think of the fibre being owned by the property? My plan has been amended to reflect this. I don’t have a strong opinion either way, but I don’t really see the advantage of it being owned by the homeowner rather than the infrastructure provider. Again it comes down to complexity. Let’s say a user’s internet/phone service goes down. Under the ...
NBN/Invig Just to throw inSunday, 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.

Your ‘public interest’ point is spot-on, because for some players it just means more normal displays of competition are to be replaced with more overt forms of cooperation. However, for those who are polarised and paranoid, they would ...
Ah, it always comes back toSunday, April 17, 2011 @ 9:05PMIn reply to The Seven Myths Of The NBN : Ah, it always comes back to the Pink Batts. 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 agree with everything youSunday, April 17, 2011 @ 9:05PMIn reply to The Seven Myths Of The NBN : I agree with everything you say, the NBN is potentially the greatest piece of national infrastructure for the 21st century. The enormous community benefits and potential for new business models and products is unlimited and exciting if one has an open mind and understanding on these matters. The biggest problem as I see it is the current Labor government ...
