[AusNOG] Mixing tech stuff

[Andrew Ehrhardt]

The idea of running fibre when conducting other works was tried by Western Power for a while. I believe it was part of the move to underground power distribution in older areas.

I don't know why the pilot project flopped. Maybe it's too much like common sense for governments to deal with.

Hi

So I was reading something that I think it rather a good idea and that got me to thinking why it wouldn't happen in Australia ..

But it also got me thinking why you couldn't mix this with say a NBN roll out. If you are redoing major roads couldn't you also install fibre... Share the cost of a Fibre NBN roll out. Seems like a win win win...

I still dream about a NBN fttp ...
