The home networking options are really interesting.

Option #1, Wifi shows a laptop, a desktop and a printer. For this
configuration a 10Mbps internet connection would be quite adequate.

Option #2, 'Structured cabling' shows Cat5e/6 cabling. That's better,
now at least you have GigE to match the *claimed* GigE from the
gubbermint - though it's still hard to see why anything more than 5Mbps
is required. The voice terminal only needs 100kbps - and *no-one* would
notice any difference between 10Mbps and 100Mbps when browsing, so
10Mbps is quite adequate.

Option #3, 'Other wireless' is completely ridiculous. I challenge anyone
to send HD over 802.11 even MIMO. Anyway the proper medium for broadcast
is the *air* since everyone is receiving the same signal anyway. Sending
the same signal to 24 homes without multicast is stupid - just like
mobile phone TV.

Option #4, Powerline is an intelligent way to use existing wiring but
the devices are overpriced and at 85Mbps, most of the *claimed* 100Mbps
from the NBN is wasted. Of course the *claimed* 1Gbps spin is just a sad
Labor joke.

Option #5, Phoneline. Who still has phonelines? Isn't this last-century
technology.

Conclusion: The NBN is a white-elephant

Pretty much everyone still has phone lines. I can't think of anyone I
know who doesn't have a home phone on copper lines.

Considering that data transmission rates like now would have been at
the highest levels of science fiction when copper phone lines
were first put into use, they have turned out to be an incredibly
resilient system, when you look at the data speeds via ADSL
that these "ancient" lines can provide even now, on top of their
traditional use as a telephone line.

For that matter electricity, and literally thousands of
inventions we use everyday and rely on are "last century technology"

Conclusion: The NBN is a white-elephant

Agree

I read somewhere in the context of Telstra's financial results, that
a large percentage of Australians (early adopters) had *no* *fixed*
*line* phone service - they had gone completely mobile.

It is pointless and wasteful to build FTTP where ADSL exists.

And probably an even larger percentage does have a fixed line.

What do you base you assumption on?

Yep Ill agree with that - several of my friends (the y and older
generations thats 80yrs old.) are mobile and wireless BB only. You don't
get a fixed line when you go to a retirement home either.

Most kids who have mobile phones grow into not having a fixed line at
all.
