Well accept it or not Australian Government is really doing a great favor to their citizens by upgrading their entire network of Copper cables with optical fiber. This means that the you will get your internet on a optical fiber network expanded up to your home. That would be great indeed.Isn’t it?
But this thing will not come cheap. Australian government is investing nearly 38 billion dollar in spreading the optical fiber which will lit up the countries broadband future. They have realized that quality broadband service is key factor in over all growth of the country.
But here comes India, a country filled with corruption and poor quality copper! The TRAI as promised didn’t change the definition of broadband till now. This directly indicates that they are earning tons of money from these private telecom players like Airtel etc. The TRAI had recently suggested a National Broadband Plan which will solve the countries last mile problem. but there is no note on when will it be executed?
FTTH (Fiber to the X. Here X is home.) service started by BSNL is ridiculously expensive. It is kept at that price so that no one will be able to buy it. That’s really pathetic of a state run behemoth. Indian broadband instead of growing is getting plunged into the darkness from where there is no way out.
Good luck Indian Broadband
