For those of us who've been in online space for any length of time, accessing our websites, email, social networks, reference searches, and the like is just taken for granted. We fire up our computers or devices and just surf. Everything 'just works' to coin a popular tech buzzword. However, let's remember that nothing would work if it weren't for those hard-working service providers who strive to enable our 'connectivity' to our online space. There are many such all over the world, but hitherto they've been mostly able to provide conventional broadband access. High speed, no doubt, but still, conventional.
Enter NBN, or 'National Broadband Network' in Australia, which reaffirms that, "Connection is everything." NBN, as I wrote, is an Australia-wide project which aims to upgrade our existing landline phone and internet network infrastructure.
How? This page will help us understand more.
NBN aims to enable this really fast broadband service across the country by utilising the best mix of suitable technology -- specifically, migrating end-user services from the existing copper network to "...multi-technology NBN, which includes fibre to the node (FTTN) and hybrid-fibre coaxial (HFC) solutions..." to quote the Australian Government
Department of Communications.
Details about the Government Migration Assurance Policy Consultation Paper can be accessed here.
The pictures in this post show the two areas outside our home where steps were completed just yesterday.
We are all understandably excited about the prospect of really very fast broadband access to the internet in the near future; and wait with eager anticipation for the service providers to our home to 'flick on the switch' which would give us this access.
So, if you're interested to know more about the rollout in your area (Australia only,) be sure to check your address here, as preparation steps for installation differ for each location.
Happy surfing!
