[AusNOG] Wow

[Alex Samad - Yieldbroker]

Was I was trying to get at, which obviously I didn’t do a good enough job of was.

It looks like the plan is to roll out copper to repair old copper without looking at or re-evaluating each location.  The mandate is FTTN and some mouthing that they will do fibre to the premise maybe or on a pay – per – install situation.

Wouldn’t you  want to re consider each location based upon it merits instead of coming out with a blanket statement.

Also my read on Telstra pulling out of the tender off to build infrastructure says to me they don’t want to touch the copper network at any cost … But that’s me being a pessimist.

This list should try to be objective, which means discounting subjective arguments that trigger emotional responses from articles such as those that appear on Delimiter.

If copper is inherently bad, why don't we have fibre to the desk? Perhaps the objective reality is that copper is good when it is both adequate and cost effective?
