LTE will gut the NBN

[IQSRLOW]

When you eventually take up the vastly superior services the NBN will offer, I'll remind you of what a lowbrow hippocrite you are. Just don't inform me when you register with 3D sheep-go-baaa porn, I don't want to know about that.

I won't take it. Being in WA, I am pretty sure we won't have it forced upon us to make a shitful liebor govt figures look good.

I get close to 20Mb/s Mb through ADSL+ already. Why would I go onto an inferior service for more cost?

Here we go. It has begun, there will be further slippage o nthe release of the business case. There is always a good excuse and this is plausible but it still smells a little off. The longer they take to be transparent the smellier it will become.

Conroy hints at broadband delay Clancy Yeates December 8, 2010
.THE business plan for the national broadband network may not be released until next year, the federal government has hinted, in contrast to promises it would be published by Christmas.

The Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, received the NBN Co's business plan last month, but said yesterday the government may need to change the plan after considering a report from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

''To some degree, the decision of cabinet - which will be influenced by the ACCC - will then lead to some further work that may need to be done on the NBN business case, as you would expect,'' he said.

Read an article in a science & tech site in last few days, but now can't locate, about some German uni creating some new super photon chip that is expected to allow further reduction in size and massive increase in power for computers.

Apparently cooling photons has always made them inactive, but this crew bounced them back and forth between mirrors and cooled them with a gas. Once down to a particular temp they increased the concentration of photons and somehow achieved what has previously always failed before.

Don't know how it'll play out regarding benefits for one type of delivery over another, but figured it'll probably nullify someone's argument/position. I'll leave that upto the techies to work out.
