[AusNOG] A look at the coalitions NBN so far

[Mark Dignam]

Lets not forget the cost of the nodes themselves, including two costs that so many people forget. 

 

Its simple – Power, theres a) getting the power cabling to the node itself and b) running costs.

But what’s that got to do with it? Copper and Fibre are not variations of the same thing, they are entirely different, and both have extra expenses and savings. Would it be fair if I made the claim that the cost of building last mile fibre is met by the saving that comes from not maintaining and upgrading the copper? It might be true (or not), but such claims are invalid because there is more to it than that.

 

Cheers,

If I read it correctly Rod Tuckers suggestion that the new NBN is to cost roughly similar to the Labours build estimate, when obviously an enormous portion of the build cost is withdrawn by no longer requiring the last mile build to every single home on every single occasion is frankly embarrassing.
