Fibre Optic Optic Cable--Asia--Pacific--Asia-Pacific FTTH: Australia offers a unique model, China offers vast size

摘要

Q2-2010 saw several noteworthy developments with Australia's plan for nationwide FTTH and the government-funded infrastructure company, NBNCo. - noteworthy because this is the world's largest publicly funded broadband project, one with a unique ownership and management plan. Also, other markets are watching the new NBNCo. and incumbent Telstra, just as non-US markets have been watching Verizon. One example of this interest: the North American FTTH Council has scheduled Mike Quigley, NBNCo.'s CEO and Director, as a keynote speaker for its annual conference in September.
