[AusNOG] Simon Hackett's slide deck from AusNOG 2014 with added audio

[ANSA SERVERS]

HI Guy,

FTTN might work for the time being but will have to be replaced with more money out of the tax payers pocket. If the government knew anything about the state of the copper network their research would of told them that the part of the copper network they are keeping is the worst effected part of the network.

Just my two sense worth. I am just thankful I don't use the copper network at all.

Karl,

I think you are missing one key point, the current Government was elected by the people of Australia, not by the people of Wingepool.
The policy of FTTN was no secret prior to the election.

Blaming Simon is for any of this is most unfair.

I too would prefer FTTP, but it ain't going to happen under this Government.
Get with the program or run for Government!
