Which just goes to show that the Australian people should have
retained ownership of the exchanges. That way any company could put in
whatever last-mile gear they wanted.
Some times it really grinds my gears that Australia keeps selling off
it's assets for short-term financial gain.

Hi All,

TELSTRA, and Communication Act.
As Reasoning , research NAKED DSL when technology available, and the
actual take up date by ISP's in Australia? Has this reduced the
cost ? But, whom still controls communication from exchange to socket?
It does not take a rocket scientist to contemplate timeframe of next
stage; be it optical fibre or other technology within the alliances
of Canberra.
Policy and political eradication before one considers the actual
cost and stately infrastructure modernisation needed for uptake by
consumer.
Cheers!

factor in the cost of our infrastructure, equipment and staff
Yes, but every (most) house(s) out there already have power lines,
water, and telephone lines running out to them. So we have proven
that we have the technology and resources to run a unique service
to each residence from a central location.
