[AusNOG] Mixing tech stuff

[Beeson, Ayden]

You joke but a lot of places with existing older style large sewers are doing it already :)

Paris was where I was thinking about but it seems London is doing it too, as well as in Japan.

Some really bad flow puns in there too as a bonus.

Thanks,
Ayden Beeson

Perhaps rather than FTTx the govt should have rolled out TTP Tunnel to the Premises.

Put in a nice big dedicated service duct to everyone's house.
Run everything through it power/water/sewer/data.
(I did say big right?)
Fibre on demand would be pretty easy then, it might even be feasible to have multiple competing providers in a region, and the govt could collect lease money from the service providers.
