[AusNOG] Screw the NBN, says TPG: We'll do our own FTTB

[Paul Wallace]

There's only ONE question I'm interested in at the mo ... namely, whether the Government will allow one of its departments to tell TPG that their intention to roll out a FTTB network is in breach!

I would like to see the difference in maintenance and operation costs between FTTN and FTTP to see just how much it costs to maintain all the powered nodes and copper. I think that would be enlightening especially if you extrapolate over the 50 - 70 year lifespan you get out of a full fibre deployment.

If it was being done properly it'd take at least half of the allocated 60 days just to get the terms of reference sorted out.
