I have read the comments about filtering , public comment, Telstra's stranglehold on infrastructure etc. I would like to table two comments relevant to any discussion and Australia's future technology growth; 1 why are we NOT utilising more wireless technology and opening up the restrictive regulations surrounding such uses, this could cost a quarter of NBN proposal in a quarter of the time ,Australia is a vast company and could be better served both economically and speed through the use of high speed wireless technology 2 secondly, no matter what, we are living and operating in a digital age with online transactions globally however very little in the way of security for the public user, government or business has been enacted via legislation yet alone by law enforcement agencies. Australians as a rule need to be educated and provided the tools to protect themselves and their assets against organised international crime syndicates. Why is it that we must purchase overseas products that are already compromised by the time we purchase? The research and investment could push Australia to the forefront of security technology securing online transactions in the digital age.
