TELSTRA'S move to turbo-charge its city broadband network will make it impossible for the nation to have a single information superhighway, a key Rudd Government adviser said yesterday.
The Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee chair Bill Glasson said the Telstra move threatened the viability of the Government's $4.7billion national broadband network in regional Australia.
Dr Glasson said it was not in the nation's interest to "build two bridges over the same river five metres apart".
"The message to everyone out there, governments and telecommunications providers, is we don't want to create two superhighways around the country," he said.
But he said Telstra, which on Tuesday announced it would spend about $300 million upgrading its Melbourne hybrid fibre coaxial network, had effectively ensured the network would be duplicated at least along the eastern seaboard.
The upgrade, expected to be finished by Christmas, will deliver download speeds of 100 megabits a second, compared with the national broadband network's 12mbs.
Telstra was dumped from the national broadband network in December when it failed to meet tender requirements in full.

Well thats nice considering Ive heard it consistently performs worse when it really shouldn't.
Now if only Lenovo would do the same for the legion go
Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?
Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.
Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.
With much less performance so that makes sense.
The Steamdeck shines at the lower TDP end but gets absolutely mopped at the high end.
Similar longevity with much better performance is a big win for the Ally X
They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.
Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.
