2013 Coalition NBN Policy:
FibreToTheNode
PROS CONS
- faster initial deployment- lower initial cost
- capped performance- lower reliability

“Essentially to go down the FTTN road would (...) become an obstacle to the final solution… fibre-to-the-premise.
Fibre-to-the-node was not a stepping stone to fibre-to-the-premise.
In fact, if anything it would put it backwards. ”
- Reg Coutts (2009 expert panel member, rejecting FTTN bid process)

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." -- Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943
Coalition Policy is cheaper & quicker only until we upgrade, finally, to FTTH
So - will we ever need to do that?

or: Hand to Telstra on a plate- ACCC deliberations/determinations/new SAU- Negotiate with equipment suppliers- Restructure NBNCo to accommodate FTTN- Deployment planning- Council permissions for cabinets- Power feeds for cabinets

“We have a contract with the government and we know what value we need to participate. And that’s really the end of the story.
“Speaking on behalf of the shareholders, if there is a different way to make up that value, we are happy to talk about it.
But at the end of the day we are making available, for a price, this infrastructure, to allow the government to implement this [FTTH] policy.”

If Telstra doesn’t agree to change their deal
then
we will keep deploying FTTH
and
we will not deploy FTTN

Summary
Coalition NBN policy, at face value, presents a reasonable and clearly stated policy goal into the
2013 election:
1) lower cost 2) faster deployment 3) done by deploying FTTN in brownfields
#1 & #2 are great!# 3... not so much.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE! 6 MAY 2016
! PAGE 1
Editorial:In the lead-up to the
2013 federal election, the Coalition’s NBN policy was based on deploying substantial proportions of the NBN using FTTN
The Coalition NBN enquiry concluded, however, that following the global rise of virtual reality applications, our economic competitiveness is being further damaged by our continuing reliance upon speed-capped and faltering copper based broadband services in brownfields suburbs around Australia.
Bloody Hackett was right after all.
- Grahame Lynch
With the 2016 federal election looming, the government has announced that it will accept the key policy recommendations of the recently concluded “Optimising The Deployment of the National Broadband Network” enquiry.
The National Broadband Network will be completed using Fibre-To-The-Premises (FTTP/FTTH) technology after all, with ongoing efforts
to deploy FTTN technology set to be abandoned.
The enquiry, held in the aftermath of the stalled negotiations with Telstra on re-formulating their NBN agreement to include FTTN, has also documented a widening inequality between the digital ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’, with ‘brownfields’ suburbs now crying out for the recently announced Gigabit residential services from NBNCo RSPs.
