Thought I
would keep this brief. There are in depth articles all over the web covering
each of these points in detail. This is just a summary.
Optic fibre
is better when compared to copper because it...
- is the fastest medium known to man for transporting data, both upload and download.
- uses considerably less power saving around $900 million a year.
- has a virtually unlimited life span.
- is cheaper to maintain.
- is upgradable simply by changing the electronic equipment at each end.
- is not affected by moisture.
- sets a very high standard in reliability.
- provides for new business and employment opportunities for businesses screaming out for higher bandwidth.
- allows for telehealth services that can treat patients at home.
- does not need a noisy double fridge sized node containing battery backup and cooling every 600 meters along every street in every neighbourhood.
- will give guaranteed access to online education for all.
Replacing
the copper all in one go with optic fibre will...
- allow for economies of scale with the upgrade.
- finally see the end of the aging and degrading copper telephone network.
- give everyone ubiquitous Internet speeds.
