After 11 years,Australia declares its broadband is ‘built and fully operational’
- simonblack 6y agoAnd the broadband that Australia has now is NOT as good as what was originally envisaged. The idea when the NBN was announced was that bandwidths delivered to each house/dwelling by fibre would be sufficient to cover the next 30-40 years. However, the next administration, said 'Nah! We don't need that much bandwidth, we'll change it to 'fibre to the local node' and then use copper to deliver the data from the node to each dwelling." Consequently, the NBN is just completed and is already straining to deliver sufficient data for the requirements of TODAY, much less be suitable for another 20-30 years. Governments just have no idea of what technology is, or what it requires.
