Linkers,

Who is wrong? Can the HFC cable and copper, alreay availble 
in most homes, be reconfigured to deliver higher upload and 
download if it is connected to a highspeed fibre backbone at 
the node?

> STEPHEN CONROY:   The paid television cable that they put broadband on. The HFC cable is configured deliberately to be 100 download and 2meg up. You cannot do most of the e-health applications that Malcolm keeps trying to quote there from America.
> MALCOLM TURNBULL:  That’s not true.
> STEPHEN CONROY:  It is true.  You cannot do high-definition video conference with 2meg speed.
> PAUL BUDDE: Ten years' time, we want 100 meg.
