    Yada yada coonan Anonymous -- 23/10/07

    Wimax is an inferior option. 1st step is a FTTN to build the countries backbone, and it should have public ownership.
    Coonan your solution is a hyped up nextG. It wont deliver anything other than a substandard broadband connection. TV, multimedia? I dont think so.
    You are just a plain old out of touch pollie with no telecommunications and infrastructure understanding.

    Coonan: "There is no doubt that fibre broadband is very fast but only if you live within 1.5km from your local telephone exchange or node."
    Does she understand broadband technology herself? How does fibre connect the world if it's only good enough to go 1.5km... it's called a repeater, Senator.
