British Telecom on Tueday in the UK announced plans to roll out fibre connectivity to millions of UK homes, in an initiative worth 1.5bn.
Western Power subsidiary Bright Telecommunications is ramping up its search for equity partners as it plans to expand its Perth optical fibre network to further homes and businesses.
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.
Former Communications Minister Richard Alston writes that it is critically important to reinvigorate the competitive process in Australia's telecommunications industry with the National Broadband Network and not simply replace one behemoth with another.
