" The truth is that while Australia’s current FTTH-led model would –
if finished – put it in the broadband ‘Premier League’ with Korea,
Japan and Hong Kong that it is actually going very much against the
global trend of operators using existing network assets to avoid the
huge costs of FTTH in brown field sites."

"On a global basis FTTH remains a niche technology with only 14% of
global subs currently receiving FTTH services. If you exclude the
‘boom’ FTTH markets of Asia Pacific only 3% of global subs are taking
FTTH services right now, with most subs actually getting
Fiber-to-the-Building (FTTB) rather than full FTTH anyway."
