[AusNOG] Gosford City Council and NBN RSP.

[Beeson, Ayden]

Hey Mark,

In its current form the MTM based NBN will not include separate RSP ports at all.

AFAIK it's not even achievable in that form at all, maybe with virtual circuits ADSL style but I'm not 100% on that...

Basically you will have 1 VDSL connected interface to 1 provider. Any additional services on the line will either not function or degrade your VDSL down and stop the vectoring working properly.

Thanks,
Ayden Beeson

It's at a slight tangent, but I've always though that the NBN presents many different opportunities for various government entities like Gosford to provide their services in new and interesting ways.

One of the more intriguing ideas that I've heard of is supplying a dedicated device which plugs into one of the spare RSP ports. The device might provide health monitoring and be a dedicate access device for government services. One imagines a tablet-like device that presents as dedicated video-chat that links to the occupant's doctor or the council help line or whatever.

Using a dedicated RSP port on the NBN modem is a pretty easy way of provisioning such a service without all the complexity and hassle of having to work with the household's own RSP service. Particularly if such a device is targeted at those who are otherwise isolated, may need social welfare and are perhaps not technical very savvy or wealthy enough to afford an Internet service.

Anyway, it got me thinking about the "new" NBN and the multi-tech mix.

Does anyone know whether, in the new NBN world, the notion of having multiple RSP ports with independent service providers still applies?
Or is that concept out the window if you are "NBN" connection is provisioned via xDSL or HFC?


Mark.
