[AusNOG] 10/10Mbps service in Cairns

[Bradley Amm]

“Then someone in the government pointed out that devaluing Telstra a company that has heavy investment not only by super funds but baby boomers was politically and financially not a good move. So we had 100+ poi and growing. Conveniently quite a few are co-located in Telstra facilities”

Didn’t NextGen, Optus, Telstra and PIPE, AAPT say that it would leave their networks stranded out in the middle of nowhere.

The original plan called for the nbn to have only a few POI for each state. Then someone in the government pointed out that devaluing Telstra a company that has heavy investment not only by super funds but baby boomers was politically and financially not a good move. So we had 100+ poi and growing. Conveniently quite a few are co-located in Telstra facilities.

Look what happened yesterday in the U.K. When the politicians underestimated the boomers.

This was the only use case for a National Broadband Network that ever made economic sense - building national infrastructure for wholesale backhaul, so that Cairns backhaul connectivity should be no more expensive than Sydney or Melbourne CBD. Sadly, we have instead both Labor and the Libs arguing over who gets to build a monopoly for the consumer final mile. Cart before horse.
Kind regards

It's 1500km from Cairns to Brisbane. I very much doubt a 1500km Dark fiber run would be $700 a month even in NZ.

At $3.5k for a 10/10Mbps service, Telstra Wholesale have to be dreaming...
