Welcome to the brave new world of Malcolm Turnbulls Fraudband.
A Fraudband that will be "sooner, cheaper and more afford ably".
Well read this
Quote:
"High-rise owners corporations are concerned about being locked out of
the NBN due an aggressive fibre installation campaign by a TPG-owned
company.
PIPE Networks (a TPG subsidiary) has told owners corporations (OC) in
Docklands and in other high-density areas across Australia that it will
be installing fibre facilities in their buildings.
Dock 5 OC committee member Tom Burt fears residents will miss out on
the NBN roll out if PIPE Networks installs FTTB in the building first.
This view is backed up by Strata Title Lawyers’ Tom Bacon, who said
Pipe Networks would enjoy a commercial advantage if is was first to
install its infrastructure within buildings.
“A suburb, such as Docklands, which is home to a number of large
residential towers, is an attractive target for telecommunications
suppliers, and if most or all units in the building are forced to switch
to one particular carrier for their internet and phone-line services,
then the carrier stands to gain an increased market share and a
substantial increase in revenue,” Mr Bacon said.
Mr Bacon said the installation of TPG infrastructure wouldn’t stop NBN
or other telecommunications providers from installing similar
infrastructure, but said the presence of two types of DSLAM systems
could cause system interference and performance degradation."
One of the beauties of Labors NBN was that NBN Co. would install and own
the fibre infrastructure and private enterprise ISPs would supply the
service to the customers. This would create great competition between
ISPs. The ISPs are using and dealing with only one wholesaler for
tremendous ubiquity and conformity. Under Labor, TPG could not be a
wholesaler and retailer, but with Fraudband this will happen with the
customer missing out on competition.
