Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo has remained tight-lipped on how a fibre-to-the-node build could impact the cash the telco pays to its shareholders.
Regional authorities are begging the federal government to extend the scope of Australia's fibre-to-the-node network (FTTN), fearing remote areas will be left behind as high speed broadband spreads to metropolitan areas.
Telstra has denied it is being inflexible by deciding against a fibre to the node network (FTTN) deployment until the right regulatory environment comes into play, a senior executive said.
Telstra's decision not to proceed with its plans to build a new fibre broadband network was disappointing, Communications Minister Helen Coonan said today.
A decision on who will build a high-speed broadband network in capital cities and large regional centres will not be made before the federal election.
The news this week that Canberra-based TransACT was going to start rolling out fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) services it announced in May, was at first intriguing.
If the world's homes are to enjoy the same high speed connectivity as its offices, the current thinking goes, then fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) will soon become necessary. However, not all Internet economies were created equal.
