Just not enough
• No guarantee of fast uploads
•Bottlenecks across the pacific
• Download limits exhausted in seconds
• Will the price be right?
• Do people have the computingtechnology to benefit?

e-Health• What would it take to
avoid GP waitingrooms?
• Need to uploadpictures
• GP needs to beassured of liability
• Legal and health
insurance systemsneed development

Low cost backhaul
• Just two providers
• High US interconnect rates
• This is why we have download limits

Subsidies
• Regional areas will always be tooexpensive to get the latest
communications infrastructure
• Need to subsidise connections
• This has worked in basic broadband
• Better than a USO that entrenchescross-subsidies

RegulationAvoid this issue by giving it all to Telstra
... but the cost is large
... where we have competition (e.g.,mobiles) the quality is better and pricesare lower.
If there is going to be diversity inproviders, regulation is needed at theexchange
... this includes the public partnerships.

The priorities
• Public money for overseas backhaul
• Ensure high speed connections in
regional centres• Find regulatory solutions
• Public money for innovations inbroadband applications
Don’t subsidise bricks to get a
hospital or school

The Local Solution
• The best way to ensure that the marketcan take care of itself and Australia isn’t
left behind is to think local• Broadband is a local issue (much like
garbage collection)• Specific technologies
• Different demographics
• Social networks
• Potential for competition
