A peak body representing internet users has proposed that the federal government abandon fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) technology for the national broadband network in favour of ‘fibre-to-the-driveway.’
NBN switched on an average 10,000 new fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) services per week in the second calendar half of 2014, taking total active connections to 736,000.
NBN has officially launched its commercial fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) technology as the next step in its overall multi-technology model (MTM).
NBN Co will begin rolling out the National Broadband Network to an additional 550,000 homes and businesses from September 2016, the company said in its latest quarterly update.
NBN Co on Tuesday announced the rollout of fibre-to-the-building (FTTB) technology to 6,000 homes and businesses in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.
Shadow communications minister Malcolm Turnbull said at a doorstop interview today that a fibre to the node (FTTN) policy for the National Broadband Network (NBN) could possibly end up costing around the same as the current fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) policy.
