NBN for Fibre to the Hub not Fibre to the Home.

80% of the functionality at 20% of the cost
Working from home -> working from a hub

• Residential zoning is not light Industrial!
• Temperature control
• Electricity – plug in all these devices and knock out your appliances!
• Adverse effects on liquidity of the Property

We don’t want high mobile and data reception everywhere! Only high data & reception in certain designated hubs!

Telehealth and TeleEducation Scenarios are more economic through Fibre to the Hub:
also even for Internet TV there are many provisions for making Content available off-line

- the only exception is Live Sport!

Most interesting scenarios (and should therefore get most of the funding)

NBN Co. - a Grants Management company - not to drown in technical details!

For Profit Businesses:

• Large Restaurant Chains (e.g. McDonalds)
• Large Cafe Chains (e.g. Coffee Club, Dome, etc ...)

Even Bunnings and OfficeWorks are eligible!

Internet Projects:

• Microsoft [Serviced Offices]
• Apple [Shops]
• Google [Project Loon]
• Facebook Connectivity Project

Grants should be squarely aimed at Community Groups

• Co-working Spaces
• Serviced Offices
• Libraries
• Independent Cafes
• Religious Organisations
• Other Not-for-Profits

And not to forget Private Businesses whom want to provide Internet!

NBN arguments against residential high speed - not that economic

1. Comparatively minor cost when compared to other residential expenses - e.g. kitchens & bathrooms
2. Still require an active ecosystem - if router is not 100% correctly configured they will blame the connection
3. Most residential people are plain not interested in high-speed Internet

The goal is for low-cost, reliable and ubiquitous Internet!
