I totally agree. Thanks Tony.
I say this becasue today we spend billions on stuffing Telecom NZ's and TelstraClear's pockets.....and the profit alone on that service would build a kick-ass national network that would meet the infrastructural aims and goals I have in mind.
How on earth would you know what it cost's to build a national network ? Let alone a "kick ass" one. Don't confuse putting up a few wireless nodes or stringing up some fibres on power poles with building a "national network". To do that you need billion dollar investments in equipment and info-structure. You go try and price up digging a trench (and getting approval for it!) from Auckland to Wellington, then come back and tell us how cheap you think your "kick ass" network will be.

I thought this was what the Universities were planning on doing with Internet2 - - that is leasing some pre-existing national fibre - no doubt from Telecom or Clear? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/7q2Fe/+/JCBbkYgRAtMCAJ96GiDv3y0V2aR92TuPVXTJUsGRmQCfa1Z3 OLB07cA8Bcnx6hNj5C09kS0= =Y1Qy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
