[AusNOG] NBNCo releases its response to industry consultation

[Matthew Moyle-Croft]

It's worth noting a few things about the Amsterdam experience:

Their AVERAGE distance per service was 3 metres - 120km for 40k services.  It's a fairly small geography they're building into which has a lot of MDUs.  Guarantee the distance in Oz is a lot longer.

It'd be nice to have a core or pair per house hold.  But not at any expense.

This article (while very mainstream) has some interesting point on PON vs direct fibre- and some costs.

Using PON is a bit short sighted.

Why is that?

It is power efficient ( less green house emmissions for the true believers)
It can deliver 1Gb or more symentrical connections
It can do L2 or L3

I often see the argument against PON but I rarely if ever see reasons why, I
would be interested to see the reasons why


If you're going to spend the money to roll out a nationwide network, you
might as well only do it once.

The cost of  point to point would make an already dubious business plan even
less affordable.

The biggest cost is not so much the cable as the duct access.  In brownfield
deployments that can be very high.  $70 per meter is not out of the
question.   Duct access at $6 to $8 per year can add up to.   If you put it
on power poles then fine, but expect long delays when trucks trees and wind
bring it down as will happen.
