We might be highly urbanised, but you still have to look at the
numbers, 20 million people vs. 125 million people in Japan. The cost
per head of population of installing infrastructure is a lot higher.
And you then need every one of those people to pay to use the
infrastructure, or have it heavily subsidised, or both.

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,
Answer......
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!

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

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.
