The current hybrid/mismatch is a classic case of designing a race horse by committee - i.e. You get a camel. I also agree with a comment Aus is not the US. In both size of population and a social agenda to provide services to all. Not just the ‘rich’ target markets of Melbourne/Sydney. In the US they tend to only target high $ areas, here we try (don’t always succeed) to equalise city/bush. </div><div><br></div><div>If there had been less noses in the trough and a true vision the NBN could have been great, instead we have the current miss mash. As to being price competitive to provide options I’ll leave that to others. I suspect we all have an opinion on that chest nut.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Chris Hurley BE (Elec), MBA</div><div>Director</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>******************************************************</div><div> Minopher Pty Ltd Phone: 1300 730 531 </div><div> 74 Allanfield Crescent </div><div> Boronia, 3155 Victoria </div><div> Australia </div><div>******************************************************</div><div><br></div></div></div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Geneva; font-size:10pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> AusNOG <<a href="mailto:ausnog-bounces@lists.ausnog.net">ausnog-bounces@lists.ausnog.net</a>> on behalf of Skeeve Stevens <<a href="mailto:skeeve+ausnog@eintellegonetworks.com">skeeve+ausnog@eintellegonetworks.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Thursday, 4 August 2016 at 1:35 AM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> "<a href="mailto:ausnog@lists.ausnog.net">ausnog@lists.ausnog.net</a>" <<a href="mailto:ausnog@lists.ausnog.net">ausnog@lists.ausnog.net</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> [AusNOG] TPI Commentary on the NBN<br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr">Has anyone else read the TPIs document about the NBN?<div><br></div><div>Re: <a href="https://ia.acs.org.au/news/us-thinktank-paints-nbn-as-missing-its-mark-431787">https://ia.acs.org.au/news/us-thinktank-paints-nbn-as-missing-its-mark-431787</a></div><div><br></div><div>Based on: <a href="https://techpolicyinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Sorensen_Medina_TheEndofAustraliasNationalBroadbandNetwork.pdf">https://techpolicyinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Sorensen_Medina_TheEndofAustraliasNationalBroadbandNetwork.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div>Just wondering what people thought of it.</div><div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>...Skeeve</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div><b style="font-size:13px;font-family:calibri">Skeeve Stevens - Founder & The Architect</b><span style="font-family:calibri;font-size:13px"> - eintellego Networks Pty Ltd</span></div><div><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:calibri">Email: </span><a href="mailto:skeeve@eintellegonetworks.com" style="font-family:calibri;font-size:13px" target="_blank">skeeve@eintellegonetworks.com</a><span style="font-family:calibri;font-size:13px"> ; Web: </span><a href="http://eintellegonetworks.com/" style="font-family:calibri;font-size:13px" target="_blank">eintellegonetworks.com</a></div><div><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:calibri;font-size:13px;margin:0px">Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; S<a>kype: skeeve ; </a>LinkedIn: <a href="http://linkedin.com/in/skeeve" target="_blank">/in/skeeve</a> ; Expert360: <a href="https://expert360.com/profile/d54a9" target="_blank">Profile</a> ; Keybase: <a href="https://keybase.io/skeeve" target="_blank">https://keybase.io/skeeve</a></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
