[AusNOG] Katter backs Coalition - Windsor backs Gillard

[Phillip Britt]

There's no doubt that backhaul is an issue in regional areas, but there
are quite a lot of areas with competitive backhaul now and the thing a
lot of people forget is there are regional providers offering these
services (wireless, not fibre) in many areas today.  SA and VIC are two
states which are starting to see extensive areas of Wireless coverage
and at the speeds NBN is proposing.

Are we going to see NBN run over the top of these projects or actually
start in areas which have no commercial alternative currently?  That is
where they should be starting.  There needs to be more consultation with
existing providers that are already offering these types of services to
see how they can be integrated into the bigger picture.

Cheers,
Phil

Yea so they can connect that fat Gig-E access pipe to a provider
backhauling
them on a 45M DS-3! Lets face it - until the backhaul is ready and
priced
competitively, who can actually afford to connect to a 100mbit
connection in
regional Australia?

The logic of the decision to build that way is noble, but will they be
sensible about it or will we see islands of fibre connected homes in an
ocean of low-speed backhaul?

I agree 100% the cities already have access to
fiber/100mbit/30mbit/24mbit

Give it to the guys who have been sucking on the ISDN link for 10 years.

That is an excellent outcome.
