you miss the point - it's no longer just a copper telephone system. It's
operating way beyond the original intent - carrying analog voice signals. We
don't need a new "phone system" we need a new network de

Nice one Max
Iqaas is a great name and anything to stop 1000 people doing the same
thing to search for the same report is very welcome. I hope you get
lots of contributors as there's a lot of relevant stuff out there but
it's buried or obscured. I'll have a look at my recent research and
send you
Umm seriously?
You're actually trying to compare re-wiring your house to rewiring a
national network? That's like saying "I sail in a dinghy so I know it can't
be that expensive to build an air craft carrier".
It's not just a case of replacing the cables, you've got to upgrade the
termination poi

David,
I'm not really sure where you're getting your information on the NBN, but you
seem to be missing a few facts. You are right that NBN is replacing the
existing copper "last mile" network, but that's no longer a "telephone system"
so calling it an upgrade to that is not appropriate. Tels
The problem is that we're not world leading with the NBN, we're world
catching up. While the idea of a National Fibre Network over such vast
distances is new and novel, the underlying technologies are not.
If we want to wring the dollars out of the NBN we have to do the work
ourselves. Whether its
Oh I'm very much *for* the technology..
In fact, if the NBN is simply a marketing term for replacing Australia's
copper telephone system with a fibre-optic one then I don't have any
objection.
If so it shouldn't be called a broadband network when it is really a
telephone
system upgrade
maybe
"Mere speculation..." why bother. Seriously.

It is so sad to read a statement from someone so ignorant to the
benefits of a FTTH network now and well into the future.
2 minutes is all it should take anyone with access to Google to learn/
understand why there is simply no other technology with anywhere near
the capabilities of fiber optic.

LMAO... brilliant stuff!
