A Series of Tubes #102: Nextgen’s backhaul win, Gov 2.0 with Stilgherrian
December 11th, 2009Well, the year is drawing to a close, and here’s the second-last A Series of Tubes for the year.
This week, we talk to Nextgen Networks’ CEO Phil Sykes about the company’s $250 million project to build (and operate for five years) a regional backhaul network that will deliver more than 6,000 of fibre to places far beyond the sandstone curtain. What will the new network mean for competitive broadband in regional Australia – and for the consumers in those regions.
And in our second-last chat with Stilgherrian for 2009, Tubes discusses Government 2.0, emerging security vulnerabilities discussed in Verizon Business’ threat survey, and how not to do political Twittering.
