Submission on the Broadband Investment Initiative

Posted by Kris Price | April 27, 2009 | No Comments

I haven’t been doing so well with the one post per week goal lately, but here is my submission on the Government’s Broadband Investment Initiative.

The proposal seems to believe that wholesale unbundled dark fibre is the best method to serve all customers, which is absolutely incorrect. The negative impacts identified in this submission are caused by this, and forcing LFCs to engineer the networks in such a way.

Unbundled dark fibre is only suitable for a small percentage of customers and is completely unsuitable for the remaining customers that make up the vast majority. It is important that this distinction is understood, and that the proposal targets the distinct needs of these two categories of customer.

The full 21 page submission is available in PDF format here.

    Everyone seems to be doing this microblog thing. (See The Daily Show for an explanation of "microblog".) So I thought I'd take it back a decade and do the macroblog thing. (Ha! Take that, Zeitgeist.)

    The intention is was to write one post each week over 50 weeks. The anticipated result is a lot of unoriginal thought.

    The other intention is to sort and tidy my projects for uploading.

    This is an experimental blog, so fast and loose opinions are likely. They are, of course, my own at the time of writing, and naturally subject to change.
