[AusNOG] Netflix in AU, break up Go4, or TPG peering breakup?

[Alex Samad - Yieldbroker]

So isn’t this what governments are for to plan for the future.  How did we end up building the snow mountain hydro system if it wasn’t for the future sight and other big ticket items.

Without getting too much more off topic networks and such.

As numerous people have commented the horse it gone, we can lament about it and maybe hope for some improvement. The entry of Netflix could have been one of those events that triggered the government to act and hopefully see that current ADSL is not going to cut it, current coverage isn’t going to cut it and to help everyone a high speed NBN is needed.

As previously mentioned - the horse has bolted. It’s bolted because there’s no big demand for high speed, affordable internet access. I’m not a fan of our glorious leaders, but Turnbull wasn’t exactly incorrect saying that 12Mbps is enough for anybody<http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/366022/12mbps_enough_all_applications_turnbull_-_updated/>. The fact is that High Def, VOD services are of low impact in Australia. VOD is just one pivot of potential too.

So to re-iterate yet again. I’m not saying we should be subsidising a business, we should be facilitating them in the interest of open market and servicing our consumers.
