I live in a metro area of Sydney, there are 70 copper connections between me and the exchange, just over 5Km away. The copper is old, corroded and badly maintained by the private sector. If water gets into any one of the 70 contact points along my connection Flarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030989325914464192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31350666.post-12013174981413502302010-08-11T15:24:28.806+10:002010-08-11T15:24:28.806+10:00I can see a coordinating role for government here ...I can see a coordinating role for government here and maybe some investment in the core infrastructure and that seems to be covered by the Coalition's plan.

It will replace your phone line with a VOIP solution. It will also allow for payTV services to be delivered without the need to a satelite or hybrid cable.
