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
Like a mentioned before, this would be a relevant point it we didn't
have any infrastructure to start with but every house already has at
least three services running to them (5 if you count Cable and Gas).
It seems to be economical for all of these other companies to run
unique services to every house.
Why can't someone run Fibre?
As answered before: TELSTRA, and the (tele)communication act. Contact
local MP for a clarification, or communication ombudsman for your state.
To be quite frank we did not sell it off, but buried it further in
political depravity thanks to Howard government; another one of those
so-called great legacies that he has left our great nation.
Who can blame TELSTRA for trying to hang onto an income source, as it
has been proved time again they can not be competitive.
Mute point to ponder: I have Optus optical fibre passing through the
front of my property 10 feet form junction box, and in connection pit
at front of house. It is possible to connect through this cable to an
exchange and back to my house, but I am not allowed to connect to this
as my source of communications above act prohibits this except down
copper line controlled by TESTRA.
Cheers!
