Hi All,
Answer......
TELSTRA, and Communication Act.
As Reasoning , research NAKED DSL when technology available,
Since the Naked DSL subject has come up , here are two things for you
to ponder on :-
1. With Naked DSL when the Power goes out the phone will stop
working .
How do you report the Power Fault ? ( Not everybody chooses to have
a mobile phone ) .
2. A normal phone draws current through the physical cable pair . In
doing that
it keeps the wire joints " electrically wetted " so they keep
conducting voice currents .
The Data signal does not do the same " electrical wetting " and as a
result any poor joint
can deteriorate so that you could end up with a weak or no ADSL data
signal.
As a consequence there would also be no phone !
It is a POTENTIAL PROBLEM !
The joys of technology !
Bob
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!

Well,
Maybe every ISP in Australia is ripping us off, but I'm not sure
that
a tit-for-tat comparison with other countries is particularly fair
on
ISPs. I am led to believe that our small market size and population
sparcity make the situation challenging for Australian ISPs when you
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.
