There needs to be a bipartisan political will for it which is hard to capture. Australia tried to follow the same model only for a more conservative government to get in, claim that it was too expensive, butcher the plans (fibre to the node instead of to the premise) to "save costs" the country was left with a more expensive half-baked product that still incorporated a lot of copper. What's worse is that because there was a "government fibre" model it meant that private industry that wanted to lay its own fibre started facing various endless legal issues[0], which, funny enough, is entirely supported by the originally less conservative political groups that pushed for the rollout in the first place. So now we're left with a bad network and legal structures in place to stop it from being privately superseded. [0] https://www.itnews.com.au/news/tpg-calls-for-nbn-protectioni... |
