The NBN: If we build it will they come?

摘要

An analyst report predicting that a quarter of Europe's broadband sites could be mobile only by 2013 suggests Telstra's threat that it will compete vigorously with a non-Telstra FTTN network using its other network assets is very real. There has been no end of clamouring for FTTx network rollouts in almost every developed nation. In Telstra's latest public utterance - championing itself as Hobson's Choice when it comes to building Australia's FTTN network - CFO John Stanhope said: "There is no infrastructure more important to all Australians than the National Broadband Network" and he claimed that the lack of it is costing the economy $200m per month.
