Why the NBN needs go the full way. I’ve always been unsure how I’ve felt of the Liberal NBN plan vs. Labor NBN plan. After being prompted to think about I think I’ve finally decided why a half assed solution isn’t good enough this time. No. Fibre to the premise has very little to do with speed/waiting times and people need to drop this stupid reference, it’s a backwards way of looking at how a new technology evolves. Fibre removes the bottleneck for any future technological movement in Australia. It enables any business to compete globally from just a standard home connection, right now at work we are stuck on an aging 4mbit ADSL connection — this prevents us from bringing our 200GB remote database in locally for development and testing. Some of us have to go home if we ever want to check out the latest 5GB iTunes catalog dump. Fibre switches on the capabilities for medical imaging, especially in remote areas. Fibre switches on the dream of being able to live in the cloud, you only need a simple buffer on your iPad with everything else on your remote device. So right now we have two ways of measuring ‘speed’. Latency is how long it takes for data to get between two points and bandwidth is how much we can push between the two points in that time. Because fibre is light based, the latency is incredibly small - it would be like the computer was in the same house if you were communicating in WA or Australia. This enables industries to cross collaborate in a way we have never seen before. Want access to a raw footage library? With fibre you can be at home and have a very reliable experience. Want to work from home and have the same level of access to your work network as you do at home? With fibre it would be like you were in the same office. Fibre to the premise switches on so many opportunities it’s impossible to grade it by ‘waiting times’. callumj/post/60421062721/why-the-nbn-needs-go-the-full-way
