-
An
historical chart showing the changes in telecommunications
technologies over the past 100 years with the technologies bound into
nominal 5-year slots.
-
The
misunderstanding about the term Publicly Switched Telecommunications
Network (PSTN).
-
The
need to develop a completely range of expertise based around optical
fibre and Internet protocols for the new line of field staff to enter
the telecomms industry.
-
The
need to closely look at the current ACCC Telecomms report and
recognise that the report is not aligning with the network
technologies and how these networks interconnect.
-
Understanding
that the Demographic Languages as used in the ABS do not correlate
with the Telecom-ese Languages used in the Telecomms world and because
of that there is a large degree of misinterpretation.
-
Comprehending
the Engineers Australia Report 13 and realise that their report is
scathing because the infrastructure has literally been left to fall
into disrepair while maximising profits for shareholders.
-
Understanding
that Australia's Golden Boomerang is the one area where telecomms
infrastructure is both competitive and multi-duplicated - and this
does not give a cost effective result.
-
Realising
that Australia's Internet infrastructure is heavily biased from
overseas Servers as the source material, and that Australia needs to
act proactively to reverse to information flow so that Australia
becomes a Source of Information and not a Sink of Information.
-
Realise
that ADSL is a very stop gap-technology and that it is useless in
anywhere but CBD situations.
-
Realise
that HFC has a much larger footprint than ADSL and that HFC is being
severely under-utilised.
-
Realise
that the Universal Services Obligation (USO) has not worked and that a
radically different approach is necessary.
-
Understand
that if the Country needs to be connected, then the Country needs a
high capacity Internet Backbone Backhaul infrastructure so that
non-metropolitan areas can connect with the Internet with business
level speeds.
-
Understand
that Australia's Telecommunications infrastructure needs to move on
from the Competitive Regime and move this back into a sub-government
body so that its focus aligns with that of the users and not of the
stock market.
-
Build
a high capacity inland Backhaul infrastructure to connect non-metro
communities into Internet.
-
Build
inland mirrored servers to remove traffic demands from
overseas.
-
Stop
the proliferation of ADSL equipment in any form.
-
Use
the remaining copper pairs as paired to increase current ADSL speed
capabilities.
-
Immediately
introduce FTTP as the nominal way to provide Broadband
Internet.
-
Phase
out ADSL and HFC.
-
Train
plenty of new field staff with Optical Fibre and Internet Protocol
skills for the future.
