On-line: NBN Petition
"AN internet petition set up by a Liberal-voting student to save Labor's national broadband network (NBN) has become Australia's largest ever online petition."

"The NBN petition calls on the incoming coalition government to scrap its plans to create a fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) network in place of Labor's existing fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) approach."

Done. It's a pretty good summary of the situation on the site as well.

Thanks Dean,

An extended family member who also happens to be an engineer and who
also feels strongly about the wisdom of deploying FTTH over FTTN forwarded
me the link late last night and I signed it then.

A colleague wrote me today who is a volunteer with the Rural Fire Service (RFS)
in a rural area just to the north of Sydney.

Yesterday he logged into the RFS system to download the situation map for
a fire in the area.

He reports that the 1.7MB map took more than one hour to download.

Obviously the RFS servers were busy with the fires taking place in Sydney's
west, but when one considers the state has experienced far more serious days
then it is a concern if it is up to the task.

Signed.

Even if the chance of getting fibre instead of satellite is Buckley's.

Thanks to the other thread on the NBN, I feel a bit better informed about it all.
