After an agreement which was signed on June 2011 between Telstra and NBN Company, a difference between the companies in the areas where NBN FTTP is fixed is no longer needed. Telstra has agreed not to sell their mobile network as an alternative to the national broadband network for twenty years. This will offer the company time to introduce their networks and introduce the concept to clients. Part of the agreement also includes customer disconnection for the Telstra network.
For those customers that have a choice, National Broadband Network plans are much faster and affordable than most Optus and Telstra contracts. Telstra is providing unlimited mobile broadband connection to their business clients for $300 per month. If a mobile broadband is included with a fixed phone line, business customers may not be able to get a discount.
By contrast, national broadband network provides broadband plans and VoIP in a choice package with prices ranging from $60 to $200. Only Exetel and a few other companies have provider lower prices than the National broadband network. Exetel prices are currently between $40 to $100 per month. While this is lower than national broadband network plans, many customers prefer NBN, as the service is much faster and part of a regulated network.
LTE or Long term evolution is currently some of the quickest network speeds available. The NBN Company purchased Austar for $130 million approximately in the year 2011 to offer this technology to Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia, Northern Territory and New South Wales. The purchase will allow NBN to offer fast broadband plans to every area and build up its fixed wireless network. NBN Company has also signed a twelve month contract with Ericsson to construct a network. If the national broadband network company plans to continue the project for ten years, the project might cost a total of $1 billion.
If the NBN company plans to connect more than ninety percent of the Australian population to the new FTTP technology, most of the ISP or internet service provider companies might not be able to afford to provide the mandatory 120 POI (Points of interconnect) will lose their chance to compete. The remaining 7% of the population will be offered by broadband related technologies. The running and set up cost might be too high for various small companies to afford. This is true especially in rural areas.
