[AusNOG] Netflix, AWS and Softlayer vs. Australia

[Mark Andrews]

The brings us back to the NBN and the artificial limits on link
speed.  This skewed the cost benefit analysis by introducing
willingness to pay for speed.  Many of the benefits of a fibre
network come from having the high speed available when you need it.
Most people don't need high speed most of the time.  It doesn't
cost anymore to provide the last mile at full speed.  The system
just needs price feedback to avoid abuse.  That feedback doesn't
have to be done as link speed.

I'd love to see the analysis redone where everyone on fibre had the
full link speed available to them but there were monthly volume
limits included.
