Google fibre method "could save NBN $10 billion"

A fibre-laying technique being used by Google in an experimental US fibre network project could reduce the cost of the NBN by up
to $10 billion, according to a local company that has licensed the technology.

Broadband Network Communications (BBNC) had tendered to use "micro-trenching" to roll out fibre in urban areas to be covered by
Australia's national broadband network.

You just need a small volunteer as a pull-though.

Nope, its a completely stupid way to do fibre in the suburbs.

Certainly for the final fanout that's true. But it could be an extremely
efficient way for running trunk feeds, where distances could be tens of Km
and there are no offtakes on the way.

Only if your main feed is live video of the sewage works.
IME, it is of little practical use as sewer main doesn't run where the
comms cables run or are needed.

I dunno what your experience is, but Telecom used to run dedicated
cables along side sewer routes for monitoring sewer pumps as a failure
is disastrous.

For this you need the NBN?
Oh well, Australia can lead the world in "Turd Cam".

It just points out that, like the sewer, you are full of it, with
your statement that there are no cables near sewers.

Step away from the mirror. That was not what I said, which was;

....................................................................

Monitoring of a few sewage pumps is hardly justification, leading to a
major saving in construction, for the NBN. And guess what, sewer pipes
are never "full of it" unless people have been illegally diverting storm
water into them.
