[AusNOG] The death of NBN 2.0 [very off-topic]

[Richard Pruss]

I personally would love to know what information needs to be held for 7 years.... I could see 3 years if you were building a factory and new ASIC's and a new software stack of
some super secret squirrel CPE , but that would best be done in the open with competition and standards....

So 7 years, any guesses as to why, lets assume they have a rational reason, not just some pathetic attempt to gag debate.

In 7 years most people would not even recognise the technologies involved. LTE will be a reality.  There is a non-zero probability of all optical switching in chips.

So here is the post and my wager which is that I will go to Canberra and personally shine Senator Conroy's shoes on the steps of Parliament House.

Either produce the Red Book and business case, that shows there is no business case and massive risk to the tax-payer, or don't produce it and the momentum of anger will grow as fast as they "burn the goodwill" of those that support it.  Either way - it dies
