And when wireless technology is concerned, why they never look this up

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/contention

Admittedly that URL hardly explains what I'm saying at all..

I’m still loving how everyone is raving about wireless as the “be all, end all” .

They want this high speed 4G network to happen but they don’t consider the backbone of it all.

Makes me laugh every time :P

I heard Malcolm Turnbull giving an answer on Lateline last night that was almost word-for-word the same response he gave me at the Vocus DC launch last year.

Where is all this mythical 100mb/s-to-the-home capacity that already exists in X% of the country..? :)

Synergy (Western Power) were working on Internet over Power some years ago in South Perth and some other areas which was canned due to some issues with Ham radio users?

It wasn't just ham radio, although that's what the power companies emphasised.

Broadband over power lines turned sections of the electrical grid into
giant broadcast antennae, spraying RF in all directions.  The fifth
harmonic blatted air traffic control frequencies, which is probably the
number one reason why the technology was never, ever going to... fly.
