You’re wrong, critics tell Turnbull: Australia voted for NBN

[***super_nova***]

news An analysis of Senate voting patterns put together by supporters of Labor’s all-fibre NBN policy has shown parties supporting the fibre to the premises model received more support in the Federal Election than the Coalition’s alternative, calling into question Malcolm Turnbull’s claim to have a mandate to change the NBN rollout to fibre to the node.

OMG !!!!

Fifteen months after e-health was launched - 888,825 Australians have signed up for an e-health record but by last month doctors had loaded only 5427 health summaries on to the system.

So, nobody is talking about e-health, except you to avoid the topic in the article.

In the toxic fact-free zone that represents the bulk of National Broadband Network discussion, most people would be shocked to know that the NBN is likely worth building for the healthcare benefits alone - especially for the old and infirm. And the NBN doesn't just offer a healthcare revolution, it's likely to save tax payers billions of dollars every year. Most important of all, however, is the notion that these new-generation 'Telehealthcare' applications are only viable using the current Fibre to the Home broadband policy and not the Coalition's alternative. Could it be that convalescing old ladies, who have never used a computer in their lives, are the pin-up girls for fibre-based broadband?

Take e-Health for instance

You keep going on about the benefits to the aged and infirmed but you never say how benefits will be applied over the NBN.

 'Telehealthcare' applications are only viable using the current Fibre to the Home broadband.

How do you draw that conclusion?

Could it be that convalescing old ladies, who have never used a computer in their lives, are the pin-up girls for fibre-based broadband?

How could "convalescing old ladies, who have never used a computer in their lives" benefit from the NBN? are the going to be the front line call centre chicks to handle the myriad of problems for the NBN?

Just because people are old does not mean they are stupid.  I know number of people who got their 1st computer in their late 70s and 80s.  They are able to send and receive emails, and talk to their children and grand children on SKYPE.  Old convalescing people would be able to talk to their health practitioner without actually leaving house; they could have their blood pressure etc. and healing progeress  checked.  Getting to hospital or doctors surgery is a big issue for them.  The same goes for people who live long way from cities.  If you watched the video I posted, it shows how it is possible to do dental check for kids in outback without them traveling to the surgery, and GP dealing with an emergency in his surgery could be supervised by a specialist in complicated cases. 

Also, in emergency, like when somebody is having heart attack the person answering the call can see what is happening & can then direct what to do while ambulance is on its way.  That can save the person's life, or can avoid serious damage. 

The possibilities are endless, and once people have this sort of system, i am sure, they will come up with more and more great uses for it. 

Lets face it, the system we have now is very inferior.  I am doing my family tree and I have a great problem accessing the on line archives in Europe.  Often have to wait ages for the huge files to open, only to realise it is the wrong page; drives me up the wall.  But, I just got in touch with some distant cousin living over there and she has no problem although she lives in a small vilage up in mountains.  That is because even there they have a better Internet speed than I have in the middle of Melbourne.

Ok I am lost.

What does e-health (a program started by Abbott when he was Health Minister BTW) have to do with NBN.

Please explain...?

Nova, do your research and you will find that all of the above does not need Ultrahigh speed Internet

it is well within the scope of the FTTN system

Besides very remote locations will not be connected with fibre but wireless and that is limited to around 12 Mbps,  8 Mbps is already in use and has been for years even that will handle what you have listed.

Most of what you have listed can be handled by 1-2 mbps

By the way the world speed average for Internet is around 14 to 15 Mbps  so content origination off shore will be limited to that average speed even if you have a trillion Bps connection

This is where the con rears its ugly head
