The
National Broadband Network In Australia.
The National Broadband Network (NBN) is a no brainer It will seem so obvious and logical in hindsight - interestingly, just like most great ideas There has been a lot of talk recently within the ITC community about the potential impact of the NBN, in fact electronic forums and blogs have been filled with possible ideas. However it is already clear that many of the perceived advantages will not be immediately obvious to the general public.
I should emphasise at this stage that I am not aware of a single thinking person within the ITC industry or academia who does not wholeheartedly support this infrastructure.
The simple reason being that the country's competitive position in a globalised 21st century economy will be severely compromised to do otherwise. Of course what we read, hear or see in the traditional media (not online) is often quite critical and all I can say is: "Think about their self-interest for a second" and you be the judge of why that is so. I believe we will all (including the mass media) look back favourably on the NBN in twenty years time the way we now do about the country's last major infrastructure works, the Snowy Mountains Hydro scheme.
It will seem so obvious and logical in hindsight - interestingly, just like most great ideas. The real question that everyone seems to be overlooking is: Why didn't we start earlier? And that's well before the present incumbents in Canberra finally started the ball rolling.
