It is with great sadness, that I can announce Australia will take a step backwards in becoming the agile and technologically advanced nation that our leaders say they want to promote.

Australia is now a step closer to implementing the non-future-proof FTTN NBN internet technology, as an “alternative” to FTTP.

Based on the “spin” in this article: http://www.nbnco.com.au/blog/fttn-will-help-connect-end-users-to-the-nbn-network-more-quickly.html , its obvious that Australia will have serious long-term issues with broadband speeds.

Its unfortunate that the future potential of Australia’s technology will be hamstrung by “spending dollars in order to save pennies”.
