Hi! I'm Jake Bunce, the manager of Viettel ISP at http://www.adslviettel.com, and I think your post is awesome.
It's hard to find quality information like this, I'm glad i found this, thanks for the valuable information.
But I have a suggestion: In my opinion the posts font and size is not the best typo for read. It is very uncomfortable.
Anyway, good work!

There has been so much research into broadband over power lines – every year some new pilot program goes on and then it just disappears again – I've seen at least five or six major implementations quietly fade away over the last few years – think Tasmania, Scotland and a few others. Rumour has it that it causes mucho interference with various radio systems already in place.

I totally agree. I worked at what used to be one of the smaller ISPs during 2000-2001 and this sort of thing happened all the time. Structural separation has always been the only correct solution.

I actually think that building a conduit system between node points and premises that any company can use would a) provide a nice short term job boost, b) avoid the legally wrangling that will bog down a structural separation and c) would neuter Telstra far more effectively.

Their strength is predicated on controlling the node to the premise. Exchange to node doesn't give them a huge amount of leverage. Take away the strangle hold on the connection between the node and premise you remove Telstra's monopoly advantage.

The largest cost of deploying wired networks is digging up the ground and creating the piping. If the government focused on spending taxpayers money on that rather than also laying the fibre private companies lay the cable themselves creating competition between various fibre providers.
