Listen in as Alan Knott-Craig Jr, son of Alan Sr, the pioneering co-founder and first CEO of Vodacom, one of South Africa's leading mobile network operators, and later the feisty CEO of challenger telco Cell C—takes us through a transformative career moment that set the stage for his future ventures. Episode overview This early 2016 conversation finds Alan Knott-Craig Jr in a moment of trademark forthrightness. Fresh from his tenure as CEO of Mxit, once Africa's largest social network with over 50 million registered users, he was already building Project Isizwe, a non-profit bringing free public Wi-Fi to South African townships, while laying the groundwork for HeroTel—reportedly the country's largest fixed wireless internet service providers. His journey would later lead to founding FiberTime, his current venture bringing pay-as-you-go fibre internet to townships through an innovative voucher-based model—an offering in a growing field of players serving underserved communities. Critical points - The fascinating disconnect between Knott-Craig Jr's prominent surname and admittedly privileged middle-class roots—his father never held Vodacom shares and put him through government schools - His journey from dutiful son following paternal direction until 25 to forging his own entrepreneurial path - The honest characterisation of Project Isizwe's non-profit work as "sincerely selfish" What we know now Viewed from 2025, this conversation foreshadowed key developments in Knott-Craig Jr's trajectory: - The evolution from running Africa's largest social network to pioneering township internet connectivity models - His transition through various ventures: from Project Isizwe's free township Wi-Fi network to HeroTel's rural broadband expansion, and now FiberTime's pay-as-you-go township fibre model - The emergence of his distinctive voice on entrepreneurship, particularly evident in his strongly-opinionated social posts and entrepreneurship books. Questions we're pondering - Could Mxit, with over 50 million registered users at its peak, have dominated African mobile social networking if it had doubled down on being a dating platform instead of taking WhatsApp head-on? - After writing several books about entrepreneurship over the last decade, has Knott-Craig Jr fully embraced vulnerability in "Life Lessons: How to fail and win" (June 2024)? - Will FiberTime's pay-as-you-go model or some derivative—no contracts, just vouchers for 24 hours of uncapped 100Mbps—prove to be the key that unlocks true digital inclusion in South African townships?

HughesNet has announced the introduction of 100Mbps download speeds, a substantial increase from their previous offerings. This enhancement, powered by the newly launched Jupiter 3 satellite, positions HughesNet as a stronger competitor against Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet system.
Numerous studies highlight the pivotal role of fibre broadband connections in fostering economic growth in emerging markets. In South Africa, the rollout of fibre has worked well in leafy middle-class suburbs but for 60% of the population that is not a reality. Two companies leading the charge in bringing fibre internet to townships are FiberTime, recently infused with an R39.9 million investment from Finnish development financier Finnfund, and VulaCoin, who is offering digital wallets for micropayments. Providing connectivity at half the price with uncapped internet and speeds up to 100Mbps, their inaugural fibre-to-home project launched in Kayamandi Township near Stellenbosch last year. In an interview with Biznews, Cobus Venter from the University of Stellenbosch's Bureau for Economic Research who is a consultant for VulaCoin and Fibertime said their model could be rolled out by larger fibre networks, enabling townships to leapfrog straight into the modern digital era. Venter cites a call centre worker's savings of R900 a month in travel expenses and an extra four hours a day with her children as a compelling example of the social development impact. South Africa, he says, is slowly but surely shifting to pay-as-you-go for many other services as well.
After three years and half a million dollars in capital costs, the nonprofit-run ONE|NB Connects network in Providence, Rhode Island has improved its wireless service to 100Mbps symmetrical speeds, and enabled thousands of unique users per month access reliable connections for as long as they need. CEO Jennifer Hawkins and Christopher talk about the challenges and rewards of transforming a gap network into durable change, from streamlining operational costs, to finding sustainable partnerships, to baking wired infrastructure into new affordable housing construction projects. ★ Support this podcast ★
Vodafone home broadband customers are set to benefit from significant cost savings of almost €1,000 over four years as the company announces the removal of promotional offers. This breaks from the industry norm by treating every customer the same and not increasing the monthly bill after the minimum contract term. The new broadband plans, available now, will see Vodafone customers rewarded with potential savings of up to €240 over one year and €960 over four years on €40 a month 500Mbps plan. Nearly 65% of Vodafone's broadband fibre base are currently on this type of plan, highlighting the sheer scale of savings for customers. Currently, customers get introductory tariffs, but the price goes up significantly after the minimum contract term - this non-promotional price can be as much as 117% higher than the introductory price offered to new customers. ComReg found that 84% of households have not switched broadband provider in the last 3 years, so households are paying higher prices under this structure. Vodafone recognise that this current industry practice is not working for customers and wanted to reward loyalty so have introduced this first-of-its-kind new broadband pricing structure that does right by all customers - new and existing. Vodafone also want to simplify the set up and encourage households to move to fibre, if available, by removing all installation fees. Amanda Nelson, CEO at Vodafone Ireland, commented; "At Vodafone, we value loyalty and want to treat every customer - new and existing - the same. We also want to reduce the burden, simplify our offering to make our customers' lives easier, along with giving them significant savings on their home broadband. We therefore have taken the lead to be bold and do things differently by removing promotional pricing with this new broadband pricing structure. "So now our home broadband customers won't face significant increases after a year, and they won't have to renegotiate their broadband plan for lower, introductory offers. This is part of our commitment to give our customers a fair, positive, hassle-free experience and allow them to avail of high-speed fibre connectivity across Ireland." These savings for Vodafone customers will now be available on all speeds including: 100Mbps, 500Mbps, 1Gb, 2Gb. For example, existing customers on a €60 a month 500Mpbs fibre home broadband plan can recontract for €40 a month (plus APA of CPI + 3% every April), saving €20 a month. Existing customers can change to Vodafone's new plans once the minimum contract is finished on their current plan, so a customer on a €35 a month introductory offer now (which would rise to €60 after the minimum term), can re-contract to a fixed €40 plan before the price goes up to €60. The new plans are available on all Vodafone networks; SIRO, eFTTH, NBI, and customers can avail of the new plans across all sales channels - Online, Retail, Franchisees, FOTs, Telesales (including live chat) and care channels.

After breaking ground on 1 August 2022, the first part of the Isizwe network went live on Monday, 7 November 2022. It connected 3,000 homes in the Kayamandi township near Stellenbosch with uncapped fibre broadband boasting an average download speed of 100MbpsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety.” - Benjamin Franklin Imagine “1984” by George Orwell, combined with the opening scene of “Half-Life 2” - a dystopian reality where an unelected government watches your every move and has the power to deny you even the most essential goods and services if you ever disobey the State in any form - or your name gets flagged by an AI algorithm for any reason - be it your “vaccination” status, online browsing history, social media activity, interaction with another flagged individual, unapproved travel, or past purchases. “Welcome, welcome to City 17. You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by our benefactors. I have been proud to call City 17 my home. So whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unkown, welcome to City 17, it is safer here.” - Dr. Wallace Breen, Half-Life 2 Welcome to 2030, where you own nothing and are kindly asked to radiate happiness and unquestioned gratitude for the mere fact that you get to participate in society. Of course, you don't have to comply with what the government kindly asks you to do. Just know that if you don't, your social credit score will decline and most purchases will be denied automatically and without the right to appeal within 48 to 72 hours. Other than monopolizing the worldwide infrastructure of resources - manufacturing, finance, services, logistics, etc. - one of the key goals of the World Economic Forum is to make living outside of the Matrix unimaginably difficult and unsustainable. Klaus Schwab would rather starve you to death than let you live off-grid, on your own or in a self-sustained society where people exchange goods and services in harmony, where there's either no government whatsoever, or there's one with authority limited to an absolute minimum - a government that actually exists only to serve its people. You see, Klaus has a big problem with that. He doesn't want you to be self-sufficient, independent, strong, prosperous. He wants you dependent on the State, weak, scared, obedient, and susceptible to coercion into involuntary inoculations, clinical trials, medical experiments, and mandates imposed on the public under a false pretense of “emergency”, funded by you and everyone you know, in form of ever-increasing taxes; legislations and measures introduced to combat “climate change” and other issues that members of the WEF address each year during closed-door conferences in Davos. We're in the year 2030. Klaus Schwab didn't like the fact that many of us were fortunate enough to own a car and drive it to a grocery store where we used to buy beef and pork for a Sunday BBQ. No, surely not in the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”, the once-upon-a-time infamous dystopian fantasy of Klaus and his co-conspirators that just recently became reality. Here's how they see it: You get to lease a car which you'll share with your neighbors, so that at least four of you at a time could go to the store and buy insect-based “meat” or lab-grown cultured meat there - or the Impossible Burger, whatever. That way, you get to reduce the carbon footprint in various ways all at once: not only you drive an electric car, you also eat bugs and ultra-processed food, and you occupy a lot less space when you share the ride. When you write it down and then read it out loud, it sounds so ridiculous that you'd have to be out of your mind to not question any of it. In the year 2030, the real, unprocessed food is reserved for Klaus and members of the World Economic Forum - those who insisted on ending of private car ownership among ordinary people, while they kept flying around the world in their private jets and feasted on the finest steaks at the most opulent restaurants. It's not like there is no real meat in stores anymore - there sure is, along with other genuine food. It's just so insanely expensive that only the “middle class” can afford it, and only on occasion. Remember when a steak in 2020 used to cost 10 bucks? Yeah… Those days are long gone, too. These days, a medium-sized ribeye costs around 50 Central Bank Digital Bucks, while its ultra-refined plant “steak” substitute costs only 5 bucks, so it's a no-brainer for most of us average folks. Cultured meat is about the same price as the insect-based meats and plant-whatever, so it's not like we don't have choices. Quantity is not the issue. Quality sure is, though. Cancer is diagnosed so often that people are afraid to visit their doctor for any reason. Media remains silent about all of it. Instead of even attempting to do the right thing, all those scumbags do is keep protecting the interests of their masters by pushing the same-old propaganda through meaningless commercials and deception. “Cancer? That must be from red meat and exposure to Sun!” “Myocarditis? That must be climate change and all that barbecue meat!” “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome? HIV? That's from all those unregulated supplements!” No one in the media mentions anything about Big Pharma experiments gone wrong, like those few pandemics we had over the past ten years. I still remember how people back in 2022 thought they've already seen the worst. Few anticipated what came after. Millions of animals euthanized. Thousands of acres of crops burned to the ground. Lockdowns. Arrests. Military curfews after 10pm. Food, water, and energy shortages. It took them less than ten years since the first outbreak of Covid-19, the event now almost entirely forgotten by all the remaining media, to put everything in place. You won't hear a word on CNN about the grave consequences of mRNA injections because those clowns still get their cheques from the Big Pharma cartel, and the cartel still earns enormous profits from its contracts with governments for lifetime supplies of mandatory mRNA shots. Believe it or not, there are still some people out there who visit their doctor or a pharmacist twice a year for a C-19 booster. Some of them died within few years, others either kept going or at some point woke up to face the truth. Most of those who survived eventually realized what all that shit was actually about. Unfortunately, some are still buying into the same old fearmongering ten years later. Population has been decimated by hundreds of millions over the past decade, and those are official estimates. Some “conspiracy theorists” say the Big Pharma along with government interventions have altogether killed upwards of two billion people. ”Sudden Adult Death Syndrome” is by far the most common cause of death in 2030. The mainstream media, as usual, instead of doing the actual journalism, continue to do what they always do - normalize SADS and all that awful shit among the people and blame everything but the very things that do all the damage. No one knows the real numbers and many are so terrified that they never look into it - given that our online activity is linked to our social credit score, I don't blame them. Anything on the governmental list of “conspiracy theories” is prohibited from access - back in the day, they used to put disclaimers and “fact-checks” under videos, but now the AI algorithm immediately deletes anything that goes against the official narrative. Most people are afraid of the State, and each year the State spends more on security. Our taxes fund their armed police, and there's nothing we can do about it, because those uniformed pawns are “just following orders” as usual - and their jobs are some of the few that pay above the average salary. It was obvious ten years ago, when most of them agreed to take experimental shots, that they would follow whatever instructions are thrown at them just to pay the bills. They put their paycheck above safety of everyone else, above the future of humanity. I don't think those people will ever wake up. They're way too brainwashed, and their livelihoods are way too dependent on wellbeing of the State. Therefore, instead of standing up to the corrupt authority, they will always protect it - because it offers them a false sense of safety, just like Big Pharma offers a false sense of safety to those who still take their products. Ten years down the road, media still won't mention a single word about healthy lifestyle, diet, staying away from alcohol. They want you to drink booze, eat junk food, and get diagnosed with diabetes or other “lifelong condition”, because a healthy person is of no use to them. Unhealthy people generate the largest profits, especially those hooked on prescription drugs for life. As long as the cartel makes money, no one gives a fuck about anyone's health. That's obviously why the Big Pharma still has no cure for cancer. That's also why their C-19 shots were designed in a way that would require boosters every few months. Not to mention what is now obvious - not only those shots didn't protect the injected from anything, they also caused serious damage to many of those who took them. The cartel has already invested so much in the infrastructure for vaccine testing and passports that it generates them steady tens of billions in profits each year. As long as you wish to participate in society, there's hardly any way around it. You just have to agree to be experimented on in exchange for a vaccine passport, the only way to get access to most places. Without strong governmental or corporate connections, it's near impossible to get an exemption, and doctors surely won't help you with one, either, since their income depends almost entirely on the amount of people they inoculate or prescribe some shit no one needs. That's where the money is, and those doctors make so much that quitting the industry doesn't exist on their list of options, as it would leave them without a chance to earn anywhere near as much ever again. After all, that's what each of them dedicated almost a decade of their life to. Medical school consumed so much of their time, energy, attention, and brainpower that they never had time to truly focus on anything else. It works that way by design. The amount of information presented to the students is so overwhelming that they don't have much time to analyze any of it too deply. Instead, they're encouraged to memorize information and apply it in various basic scenarios. Also, as widespread implementation of AI into medical industry dramatically improved the quality of healthcare and accelerated research on surgeries and devices, the real doctors started becoming less and less involved in the process. As much as the Earth's population has been declining, the quality of healthcare (for those who can afford it) keeps improving. Things don't look as promising to those on government-funded healthcare, though. Ever since Big Pharma monopolized the medical industry, including medical schools, visiting a doctor has become a legitimate life-threatening risk, since you never know what sort of damage those prescription drugs will do. You never know which of those are bioweapons designed to kill you slowly, and Big Pharma won't tell you anything - they're exempt from any liability for products they issue under emergency approval - and given how many emergencies we've been through over the past decade, you'll find more Emergency Use Approved drugs than those approved via legitimate process. The cartel is also working extremely hard to monopolize the market of supplements, many of which are already blacklisted by FDA and other regulatory authorities. The monopolized ones are regulated so heavily that once your digital wallet shows more than two transactions of purchased supplements, you are required to schedule an appointment with a doctor for a mandatory blood test to ensure that you're within the allowed usage limits. And if you exceed those, you get sanctioned, just like with other allowances set by the State. It's all part of the Smart Grid, the infrastructure that connects all that shit together - Social Credit System, vaccination status, carbon footprint, food consumption - everything linked to your digital wallet. Everything operates on the Smart Grid and everything is connected to the internet 24/7 - not just your car or phone, but also your fridge, vacuum cleaner, central heating, electricity, gas, water, everything feeding data to your digital wallet and passport, which itself also includes lifetime of location data from your phone, lifetime of online transactions, all your medical records, and every other part of information about you that the State can collect via corporations. Again, the government is not forcing you to participate - you don't have to comply. If you don't like (or can't afford) to share a leased Tesla, you can walk or take a bus. And given that most people are on Universal Basic Income, you probably can't even afford to share the lease with neighbors. UBI is usually around $1,000 a month, so it barely affords you ultra-processed “food”, let alone a car lease or an apartment in a nicer part of whichever Smart City you were allocated to after the economy collapsed. Most people live below poverty line, but thankfully, the government in partnership with Big Tech managed to provide every one of us with a VR set that's connected to metaverse via 5G, so that now everyone gets to live in their own virtual realm and just stay there most of the time, isolated from the burden of reality. And to make things even more entertaining, they're now rolling out 6G, which should solve many connection issues that the early participants in Brain-Computer Interface human trials struggled with. Those trials began a few years ago on 5G which wasn't as stable as they predicted - cut the long story short, 5G wasn't ready for the BCI. But more on that later. For now, most of us still use smartphones and VR headsets. The United States still don't have national healthcare funded with taxpayer money, which is why the U.S. government followed the example set by Canada and introduced State-funded euthanasia for those who can “no longer afford to live with dignity”. Of course, the State won't spend any meaningful amount of money towards improving quality of life of those who make its existence possible - after all, apparently, without the taxpayers' money, the government would not be able to exist and operate. Because apparently, the main source of government's income is the money from taxes. That's what they tell you, so it must be true… Right? What they don't tell you is that every now and then, they just print new money in quantities that are easier to weigh than count, and that commercial banks do the exact same thing with digital money - in form of loans which they generate out of thin air each time a new loan agreement is signed or anything is paid for with a credit card. Governments also borrow money from banks, offering bonds as collateral, except in case of those loans it is once again the taxpayers who end up paying those off. Your government's favorite excuse is obviously that it does everything for the good of the people, and sometimes things just don't work out as planned, which is fine anyway because that's all calculated in advance into the budget, along with other fuck-ups and incompetence of those employed in the bureaucratic chain - and the system itself. Don't like Beyond Meat or a cricket pâté? There's plenty GMO vegetables in store. Also, don't forget that the Social Credit System is directly linked to your social media, so you probably won't find many honest reviews of products, food or services. It's common knowledge at this point that the internet reviews shouldn't be trusted - because no one wants to risk losing access to their digital wallet or get blacklisted, which means they wouldn't be able to order food from most takeaway places or buy anything in most of the remaining grocery stores. All businesses are either owned by major investment funds, or they operate under extremely tough guidelines of the World Economic Forum - so that everyone plays by the rules and meets the carbon quota set by the WEF, and those who fail to keep up with the guidelines are hit with catastrophic sanctions, with most businesses unable to survive even one of those. And for all that you have no one but yourself to thank, since you've done absolutely nothing to stop it. Why? That's a fair question, and I'm sure every one of you has a different answer - most of you didn't do anything for the sake of convenience, because it didn't seem to affect you directly at a time, or because you just couldn't give a shit. Many of you didn't do anything because of a false sense of safety the old system offered you, because your entire livelihoods were built on that system, so you never really wanted to entertain the thought that it could ever collapse. And some of you are just lazy cunts, incapable of any critical thought, fully immersed in the metaverse where you get to live your fantasy, while in real life you're not even mediocre, you're just miserable. Again, I don't blame you - I can see how easy it was for you to give up without even trying to do anything about it. You were conditioned since birth to believe that you're small, meaningless, and totally helpless on your own. You were conditioned to weakness via entertainment, social media, and convenience. They programmed you to believe that you're insignificant and incapable of thinking outside the box - because they don't want you to take a chance and potentially find out how much you could actually accomplish on your own. There is never any guarantee that things will work out in your favor - to most, the risks outweigh the reward, so they never even try - but in fact, the chances are a lot higher than what they want you to think. Even now, in 2030, when I look back and remember how everyone used to bitch about “how hard they have it” in 2019, and how they miss the “good ol' days”. I remember how I used to lose my shit over the most trivial things, for example, because I couldn't figure out some calculation that no one gives a fuck about anymore and that didn't mean anything back then. Or when a wi-fi connection kept dropping randomly despite it supposedly being a “superfast broadband package up to 100Mbps” or whatever the fuck it was. Speaking of the internet, it surely improved in every way, but there are still times when I have a conversation with someone who a few years ago chose to take part in the early Brain-Computer Interface trials and had an AI chip implanted in their brain, and when I talk to one of them, I can see how their internet connection drops and their cognitive functions slow down, or the operating system freezes entirely. Most of those early participants have died within months of getting BCI implants, mainly due to complications, tumors, or failed software updates. Understand this: with the BCI technology currently being used, the operating system directly linked to your brain requires regular software updates that are downloaded from a server and stored on a BCI Cloud. Sometimes, during the installation process, internet connection can get interrupted and in a situation where it can't reconnect, the system resets back to its previous update - and if that fails, all hell breaks loose. Apparently, serious malfunctions are “extremely rare”, at least according to the media, but I remember when the media used to say the same thing about those mRNA shots that ended up decimating population and are still doing so. I also remember how they spinned everything with help from WEF-operated governments, to make those of us who kept asking questions sound like lunatics. Some of it backfired, but a lot of those attempts to discredit us eventually did some damage. I'd say that's because most people still don't have a fuckin' clue about anything beneath the surface of bullshit they're fed on a daily basis like a bunch of chickens, confined in a cage and fed through a straw. The main difference is the size of a cage - ours is much larger and nearly invisible to those who never think about it. And that, again, would be most people. We have it ingrained in our minds to strive for comfort and focus on entertainment. It's not by mistake, and it definitely isn't natural. It's a result of decades-long projects focused on brainwashing and programming of the masses. We have been continuously experimented on ever since World War II ended. That's when the CIA and Deep State started all that shit - NASA, Apollo program, DARPA, mainstream media, television, military-industrial complex, prison-industrial complex, mass surveillance, internet, psychological operations, entertainment industry, war on drugs - and the list goes on. It's all the same people who've been fucking everyone over for as long as history goes. Club of Rome, World Economic Forum, big corporations, inbreds behind the curtain. The cancer of our time, those parasites reap the largest profits when the people suffer. To them, we are nothing but tax cattle, workers, and consumers. Go to school, get programmed into obedience, pass the indoctrination exams, go to college or learn a skill, open a bank account, then go to work, pay taxes, buy products, get a credit card and a car lease, get promoted at work, get married, get a mortgage, buy more shit, and before you know it, you're enslaved to a bank for thirty years and everything depends entirely on that job, which at this point has worn you out so much that you wonder what starting a new life in Thailand would be like. Eventually, some of you get depressed, talk to your doctor, get on prescription drugs, get side effects from those drugs, then get more drugs to suppress those side effects. You know what comes next - nothing good. Some get to dodge the bullet, many get on lifelong prescriptions, others get diagnosed with cancer, and most of those get killed by chemotherapy before the disease itself would ever get a chance to do any damage. Because when the cartel was putting it all together, your health was never a priority. They just want you to remain alive for as long as you're able to generate profit. The moment you become a financial liability to the State is the moment you become expendable. And that's why everything is engineered with a slow kill in mind. Food, water, cosmetics, everything contaminated with life-shortening shit of all sorts. And when conspiracy theories about The Great Reset started turning into facts, when people started waking up to atrocious consequences of the Big Pharma experiments, when they finally realized that their fate, along with fate of the generations to come, was jeopardized by the greed of the government and the cartel, it was already too late. The infrastructure was already in place and when the old government delivered on its last orders, transition to the new system was smooth and violent at the same time. It was smooth for those in charge, and violent for everyone else - but especially for those who didn't see any of it coming. The dumbest and most unhealthy people were the ones who suffered the most. Some died instantly due to food shortages and all the supply crises caused by the Cyber Pandemic and other “events”, others succumbed to health complications following countless experimental injections that were meant to protect them from all those deadly diseases that decimated the world population over the past ten years. I couldn't even count how many events we've been through. Remember Covid-19? I know that some of you will say that those were the good times. But the truth is, that's when all this dystopian nightmare we now call “reality” began. That's when conspiracy theorists talked about Bill Gates and his “decade of vaccines”, about the World Economic Forum and its prognosis that by 2030 we will own nothing and be happy. They were right about one thing, for sure…

The bipartisan Affordable Connectivity Program — part of a $14 billion effort to expand broadband access to hard-to-reach areas — glitches as the Biden administration can't get rural people (nor cable companies) to take the money. Can you help President Biden sell free cash to the poor? Scott Ott, Stephen Green and Bill Whittle annually provide 260 episodes of Right Angle — often over feeble, non-subsidized sub-100Mbps internet tubes — thanks to our Members, who lay the pipe with their bare hands. If you'd like to join these compassionate truth-peddlers, click the big green button at https://BillWhittle.com If you'd like to donate without joining, be assured that every dollar you give will go to the pocket of a cavalier conservative who's living it up while aggressively minimizing his taxable income.
A flagship scheme of the Digital India campaign, the ambitious BharatNet project launched to connect India's gram panchayats with high-speed broadband has long been marred by delays. It was started in 2011 as the National Optical Fibre Network and was later renamed in 2014 as BharatNet when the Narendra Modi government came to power. And in 2012, Bharat Broadband Network Limited or BBNL -- a special purpose vehicle -- was set up to implement the project. But, over the years, it has earned a dubious reputation for missing several deadlines set by the government. In the first phase, BharatNet was to connect 1 lakh village councils by 2013. The target was instead achieved four years later, in December 2017. The government aimed to connect the remaining Gram Panchayats by March 2019 in the second phase using a mix of state-led, CPSU-led and private-led models. But the deadline was again pushed. Now, the government has set a revised target to connect all the 6.4 lakh villages spread in 2.6 lakh gram panchayats across the country by 2025 with a minimum broadband speed of 100Mbps. The government recently informed Rajya Sabha that it had connected just 27% of the villages till March this year. Of the 33 states/union territories for which data is available, 15 had a connectivity rate of less than 20%. Only Chandigarh and Punjab had achieved over 90% coverage. And just eight states/UT had been able to make over 60% of their villages service ready. The cost of laying the optic fibre has also been escalating. In 2020-21, the government spent Rs 6.9 lakh to lay one kilometre of optic fibre cable which increased to Rs 13.6 lakh in 2021-22. The total approved outlay for the BharatNet project is now Rs 61,109 crore. The government last month cancelled a Rs 19,000 crore tender to lay cables for the project in 16 states under the Public Private Partnership model after it failed to attract any private bidder. Over 50 companies showed interest, but none came forward eventually. After the failed tender, the government decided to merge BBNL with the loss-making state-run telecom company BSNL. In the past, the performance of BSNL in implementing BharatNet projects under the CPSU-led model had been poor because of its financial condition. BSNL CMD PK Purwar, when asked about the probability of meeting the 2025 rural broadband deadline, sought government hand-holding while emphasizing that it's not a commercial venture. BharatNet is funded by the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF), which gets part of private telcos' money in a revenue-sharing arrangement. BSNL, as the custodian of the USO Fund corpus of over Rs 58,000 crore, said it would ensure that all such assets are made available to all service providers on arm's-length principle. Another industry expert told Business Standard on the condition of anonymity that realistic plans and budgets may improve im

There has been a lot of buzz around 5G. Some say it will bring to life the sci-fi experience. Others speculate that it will enable the full potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, bringing to reality the concept of connected homes, office spaces, vehicles, and more. So, what is 5G really? And how does it work? Let's understand: To understand 5G better, it is important that we know about data transfer speeds, latency rate and throughput. These are the basic parameters that define 5G. What is data transfer speed? The data transfer speed is the maximum volume of information transferred between two systems every second. For instance, if a broadband connection has 100Mbps speed, it can handle up to 100 Megabits of data every second. Therefore, the higher the data transfer speed, the more the volume transferred every second. What is latency rate? It is the total time taken for a piece of information to move from one location to another. Voice lag during internet calling and skipped frame rates during online gaming sessions are two examples that explain the concept of latency rate. These happen due to high latency rate, which causes a delay in the exchange of information. This is calculated in milliseconds. A lower latency rate translates into a faster connection speed. What is throughput? Throughput is a network's capacity to handle active connections simultaneously. What we call a network congestion basically is the result of a network getting overloaded beyond its throughput limit. Now, let's understand what 5G is. It is a new mobile network standard that is touted to deliver data transfer speeds in the ballpark of one gigabit per second at a lower latency rate, and with higher throughput capacity, for more active simultaneous connections. How does 5G work? There are two types of globally accepted 5G networks – non-standalone and standalone. Non-standalone is a mix of 4G and 5G and works on the LTE network system. The true 5G experience, however, is offered by the standalone network, which is a complex deployment. It requires a complete overhaul of infrastructure to make it ready for software-based technology. An optic-fibre backhaul is needed. The sci-fi reality and connected world are some use-cases of this type of 5G. The non-standalone 5G network, on the other hand, is just an extension of 4G with a somewhat better network data transfer speed.
There are some broadband services that are offering high-speed internet speed without any restrictions, so you use it to watch movies and play online games.

The term “Cord Cutter” is nothing new by any means. We've heard that term for years. Do you even know what it means? Randy is joined by Christa today to discuss cord cutting. A Basic Amount of Cord Cutting: Netflix Netflix seems like the most basic form of Cord Cutting. CordCutting is really happening. Leichtman Research Group learned that, since a peak in 2012, traditional pay-TV Services lost about 10 million subscribers. Being forced to pay for a package of Channels that you do not necessarily want to watch is not cool. Cord Cutting Isn't 100% Possible The company you're getting your internet from is often the Company you've been trying to escape. That's how much power these cable companies have. What Do I Recommend? Think about it a little bit before-hand to see if what you're going to buy will meet your needs. Start with the foundation: Have a good internet connection. Since your CordCutting ability will rely on a good internet connection, I recommends at least 50Mbps for your house. Most providers, at least in my area, nowadays have 100Mbps options available for streaming. You may end up realizing that you're paying more for internet service, than if your Cable company offers you a deal you cannot pass up. It's not likely, but it happens. If you do find a deal on a great package from your cable company that offers, TV/Phone/Internet, it'll likely be a discounted rate for maybe 6-months or a year, then they hike up the price after that. The way I look at it, I keep a great deal for a year, and that gives me plenty of time to explore & plan my CordCutting setup. Just do your annual “Threaten to Quit” your cable company, and you should be fine getting what you want either way. Have a great WiFi setup (I'd recommend a simple Mesh setup, such as a 3piece WiFi from Google). This will ensure great coverage in your home, which you'll need if you're a streaming family. YouTubeTV is worth it, if you can find a some family or nearby friends to go in on the deal. You can split the $50/month bill with 6 accounts that are “in your household”. That's just a little more than $8 a month. The first time I sampled YouTube TV, it was $35 a month. Then I checked a few months ago, and I think I remember it being $40/month. Now it's up to $50/month. That is starting to sound like a traditional cable company to me. I pulled up the YouTube family “Location Requirements”. In short, there is a Family Manager of the account. That person sets the home area and all family members must live in the same household. Each family member has to periodically use YouTube TV in the home location to maintain access.

This show is loaded with mirrorless news and hands-on experience with some of the new cameras. For this show, Marco has invited back his friend, journalist, and reviewer of cameras and photographic equipment Angela Nicholson. This show is sponsored by: Skylum Luminar3 - The cutting edge photo editor http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3 and COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/Streetomatic Fuji X-T30 - Fuji has introduced the replacement for the X-T20. The new X-T30 gains some features of the top of the line X-T3, like the 26.1 MP BSI sensor, the AF-joystick, and a faster AF. But some features as lacking from the big brother like the second SD-card slot, the high res EVF, and the dedicated ISO dial. Angela has used the camera and shares her experience with it. Fuji X-T30 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IpXtPa Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2NnJPLr Fuji announced the XF 16mm f2.8 lens. This lens is a much smaller and lighter version of the XF 16mm f1.4 lens. Its built quality is similar to the XF23, 35, and 50mm f2 range of lenses and at about 40% of the weight and 40% of the price of the XF 16mm f1.4 this lens may be worth a second look if you like to add a classic 24mm field of view lens to your bag. Fuji XF 16mm f2.8 R WR lens B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoZb36 Fuji has also announced the GF 100-200mm f5.6 LM OIS WR tele-zoom lens for the Fuji GFX medium format camera. This lens will yield an EFV of 80-160mm in FF terms. Fuji GF 100-200mm f5.6 R LM OIS WR B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoleXO In April, Fuji will offer a FW update for the X-T3. FW 3.0 will improve the AF speed and face & eye-detection accuracy. A new face-select AF option, when you have multiple faces in the screen, will also be added. Panasonic has released the final specs of the Lumix S1 and S1R full frame cameras. Marco has used a pre-production review unit of the S1R for a couple of days and shares the specs and some info on the usability and purpose of this camera. Panasonic Lumix S1 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Ip0pLK Panasonic Lumix S1R B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoT9zJ To go along with the new Lumix S1 cameras, Panasonic has also released three new lenses for the new L-mount. The S PRO 50mm f1.4, the S 24-105mm f4 Macro O.I.S., and the S PRO 70-200 f4 O.I.S. lens. Each lens fills an interesting niche in terms of focal length, weight, features, and price. Panasonic Lumix S PRO 50mm f1.4 lens B&H: https://bhpho.to/2InALHr Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm f4 Macro O.I.S. lens B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IqOopm Panasonic Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f4 O.I.S. lens B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Ip0FdG Canon has countered the trend of making new mirrorless full frame cameras larger and introduced the compact entry-level EOS RP with a 26 MP sensor. B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Ir5Rho Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2Vdcbux And Canon will bring out these 6 new RF-mount lenses in 2019: RF 85mm F1.2 L USM RF 85mm F1.2 L USM DS RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM (super compact!) RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM Angela shares her hands-on experience with the new Olympus OM-D E-M1X camera and for whom this camera has actually been made. Olympus OM-D E-M1X camera B&H: https://bhpho.to/2CEmWhH Sony has announced the a6400 APS-C that replaces the a6300. The compact 24 MP camera has been pimped with a processor and AF system that Sony claims is the world’s fastest autofocus. And with the speed, they have also added real-time eye AF and real-time tracking. This APS-C camera sounds like the cropped version of an a9, but we are wondering if the rangefinder style shape is really appealing for whom this speedy APS-C camera is targeted at?

I mostly shoot weddings and families with a Nikon D750 and have an X-T10 for fun. I want to switch completely to the Fuji X-T2. There are other mirrorless brands but they just don’t interest me and I don’t want full frame due to the size of the lens. The one thing that is holding me back is the time between shutter actuation on the X-T10. I know Marco uses the X-T2 and was curious if he has noticed it on that camera. The X-T10 has a slight delay between shots and would not work in my professional work. Thanks in advance and I love all of your podcast.

In this episode of In The Shed Ando & Clarky take a look at the National Broadband Network and what has gone wrong with the roll out, drawing from their own exsperiances working & organising on the project. Sham contracting, rorting and obsolete technology slowing down the growth of a nation.
Malcolm Turnbull has been in Newcastle to deliver the annual Barton Lecture at the University of Newcastle. 1233's Carol Duncan spoke with him at length about the National Broadband Network, Tony Abbott, same-sex marriage and leadership.Malcolm Turnbull and Carol Duncan in the 1233 studios. If you want to know why Malcolm is holding a pomegranate, you will have to listen to the interview. (ABC Local:)On the eve of Malcolm Turnbull's visit to Newcastle, the New Zealand parliament voted to redefine marriage as a union between two people, becoming the first country in the Asia-Pacific region to do so.CAROL DUNCAN: Why do we still not have this right for Australians?MALCOLM TURNBULL: We can (do this here) but as you know the parliament considered the matter last year and voted against it. But it's open to coming back again.There is certainly much more rapid change in this area than many of us, including myself, had anticipated. In addition to New Zealand legislating, the UK is in the process of doing so, France has done so, there are now I believe 10 US states where gay marriage is legal so the trend is only going one way. I think the changes in New Zealand and the UK are going to have a very big impact (on same sex marriage legislation in Australia).If you go back to the 1850s when there was a case in England called Hyde v Hyde in which a judge gave what became the classic definition of marriage for a long time which is a permanent union between a man and a woman. He did so on the basis that this was what was accepted in what he described as 'all of Christendom'. We wouldn't use that term any more but if you were sitting in a court in London or anywhere else today and you had to ask yourself 'what is the accepted definition of a marriage in the western world, or in countries of a dominant Christian tradition, however you wanted to define it, you certainly couldn't say it is a permanent union betwewen a man and a woman because there are so many of those countries, very substantial and important countries, which recognise gay marriage, so there has been a big change.I would have said this was going to take a long time but I think it will happen sooner rather than later. It will become increasingly difficult for Australia to maintain opposition to arrangements which are accepted in countries with which we are so close, which we have so many people going to and from, so many people coming here from New Zealand. I think there has been a big seachange in this and it's happened incredibly rapidly, within the space of a couple of years."CAROL DUNCAN: It is often suggested that you don't actually believe in the policy on broadband that you are having to present for the coalition, or that you don't really believe it is the best option for Australians.MALCOLM TURNBULL: It is, I have absolutely no doubt about it. If I wasn't a politician, if I was back in my old job in the business world and the government, any government, asked me to advise on what the best course of action would be, I would describe exactly what our policy is because you get the right balance between the level of investment, affordability - being able to price the internet access at a price that people can afford, and speed, giving people the services that they need. So I think we've got the balance right."The problem with Labor's scheme, let's be quite frank about this, Labor has said they're going to run fibre optic cable into 93% of Australian households. We criticised it as being too expensive. We actually think this project will cost $94bn, taking a very long time, it's running way behind schedule. After four years they've got less than 20,000 people connected to the fibre and they'll be lucky by June 30 to meet 15% of their targets.CAROL DUNCAN: In 2003, Telstra executives told a Senate inquiry that the copper network had to be replaced, that it was 'five minutes to midnight' for the copper network. Should we be relying on the copper network at all for such a massive piece of infrastructure?MALCOLM TURNBULL: You've got to remember that under our scheme we are replacing almost all of the copper. The only copper that would remain in the customer access network is the last four or five hundred metres to the premise, and the reason for not replacing that is that as long as it is in good condition, as long as the length is short, you can deliver very high speed broadband - up to 100 Mbps - so you can deliver very high speed broadband, certainly more than fast enough for what people want and what people value, but you save a gigantic amount.The depressing thing about these networks is that it's really the last mile, it's actually less than a mile, that costs all the money because it's so labour intensive.CAROL DUNCAN: What about those areas where the existing copper network, in some cases up to 100 years old, will not be good enough for the job?MALCOLM TURNBULL: If that's the case, your area would be a candidate for either having that copper remediated at the time of the build, and we've taken account of that in our policy, or if you've got areas that have got endemic problems in terms of maintenance and water penetration then you may replace them with fibre and do so now.So you just have to be pragmatic and practical about it but the changes are literally, you're talking about saving $60bn."CAROL DUNCAN: In January 2013, Bloomberg's list of international internet speeds indicated that large parts of the world are already accessing speeds faster than 25Mbps, so is cutting the fibre at the node to save money now simply a false economy if over the longer term we have to continue to make very large investments in the very near future to upgrade the coalition's alternative NBN?MALCOLM TURNBULL: No, I don't believe you'll need upgrades in the very near future.Most people will get by 2016 on the fixed line upgraded network 50Mbps or better. We've said 25 Mbps is the minimum, that is the direction that we will give NBNCo as the minimum, so they have to do it on the basis that nobody gets less than that.Our goal, and our direction to NBNCo will be that by 2019 to ensure that at least 90% of the people on that network have not less than 50Mbps.CAROL DUNCAN: Singapore offers a download speed of about 50Mbps on average, Japan is rolling out a 1Gigabit (1000Mbps) network ...MALCOLM TURNBULL: Which is useless by the way, for a residential customer, it's a marketing gimmick.CAROL DUNCAN: Should we be building two networks, one for industry and research, the other for domestic users or simply investing one big network to cater for all needs?MALCOLM TURNBULL: If your question is 'should you be providing higher rates of bandwidth to industry and research and businesses than you do to residential consumers' the answer is obviously yes, because they've got market for it.You can spend a gigantic amount of money, $94bn, and connect every cottage, every flat and every townhouse in Australia to a fibre optic cable that's capable of running at 100 Mbps or ultimately at 1Gb, the vast majority of those customers have no use for, no value for and will not pay you for those very high speed services. So you're making a gigantic investment upon which you can get no return and as a consequence you end up having to charge people a lot more.You've got to remember that under Labor's plan, this is not my figure, this is what they have said in their own documents given to the ACCC and their own corporate plan 'wholesale prices will treble over the next 10 years for broadband access'. Now they've (prices) been coming down for the last 10 years and it's no wonder they'll go up because if you're investing so much money in the network then you've got to get a return on it."I think a very important thing to bear in mind is that we've got to be practical and hard-headed about this. This is serious money. We're talking about all the other infrastructure investments we need to make in Australia. The great virtue of telecoms networks is that, unlike a bridge, you can expand them incrementally, bit by bit."CAORL DUNCAN: Could it be expected that to delay the full roll out of fibre will increase future cost of completing the equivalent work as designed into the government's NBN? We often see major cost blow-outs with delays in major infrastructure construction across the country.MALCOLM TURNBULL: Let's assume that we can spend $900 on average to get a premise up to the most part 50Mbps but no-one less than 25Mbps, and we can do that now. And let's assume it's going to take us the best part of another $3,000 to get them up to 100Mbps and up to 1Gb with FTTP, but let's assume that there's not going to be any demand for that very high speed in those residential areas for, say, 10 years, I'm saying you would be better off postponing that investment, keeping that extra $3,000 in your pocket, earning a return on it somewhere else or not having to borrow it, and then when the demand is there making the investment then. It's just labour costs, labour costs will rise with the price of inflation but so will everything else.But the big difference is if you build a bridge you cannot build a bridge with demand just 10 years ahead because you can't just keep adding lanes every 10 years. You've got to think ahead 30, 40, 50 years.With a telecoms network, you've got the ability to build it for now and the foreseeable future, and you've got the ability to upgrade it progressively over time as demands change, and you don't really know what the demand's going to be, and above all as technologies develop. And so while postponing investment until it's needed may seem a bit hard-headed and sounding too much like a canny accountant than a visionary politician, it actually makes great sense because if you postpone that investment until it's needed the opportunity cost on the money that you haven't invested and that would have earned no return in that time, so you've got your investment in your pocket or doing something else, but also when you do come to invest you're using the latest technology and that's a powerful argument to take a more steady and businesslike approach to it."All politicians are susceptible to grand gestures, but this is a case where you can actually be heard-headed, pragmatic, make the network affordable for both the taxpayer and the consumer and have the advantage of the best technology when you need it.CAROL DUNCAN: Why do you think that a lot of social media commentators suggest that you don't actually believe in the broadband policy that you are having to sell as Shadow Communications Minister?MALCOLM TURNBULL: I have no idea. I think they're transferring their own views to me.I can assure you that I do (believe in the coalition broadband policy).I've been involved in the internet in Australia since it really got going, I was one of the co-founders of Ozemail. I'm digitally connected, I'm online a lot, I'm not a luddite, but I'm just saying to you that you can achieve everything you want to do, get everybody online quickly and affordably, I mean remember this - people in the bottom 20% of incomes are nine times less likely to be online than people in the top 20%."CAROL DUNCAN: Can those in the bottom 20%, however, afford the $5,000 being suggested to connect to the coalition's alternative NBN?MALCOLM TURNBULL: No, you don't need a fibre optic cable. This is the great fallacy you are labouring under is the notion that to have access to the digital economy you need to have a fibre optic cable into your house. It doesn't matter what the technology is as long as you have the speed that enables you to do all the things you want to do."Now, you talk about 25Mbps, and I say that as a minimum, with 25 Mbps you can stream, download simultaneously four high-definition video streams. That is a lot. You can do all of your e-commerce, all of your tele-conferencing ...CAROL DUNCAN: But there's been a television released this week that requires greater speeds than that.MALCOLM TURNBULL: The real issue is, are people prepared to pay for it. Are they prepared to pay for that investment.The answer is that you will never get a return, at least I don't believe, I cannot foresee a time when you can get a return from residential consumers for those very very high speeds. If I'm wrong, and it doesn't matter whether I'm right or wrong, because the flexibility is in the network.We will build it so it is capable of being upgraded to FTTP as and when demand requires it."CAROL DUNCAN: Do you believe there is a perception that women don't like Tony Abbott very much, that women aren't comfortable with him.MALCOLM TURNBULL: I'm not sure that's right. I think that's something that's asserted and I know one woman who doesn't like him very much - that's his opponent the Prime Minister - but you look at Tony, I mean there he is, he's got two lovely daughters and he's got his wife and he works with plenty of women in his office.The proposition that Tony Abbott is a misogynist I think is just wrong. You can make a lot of other points about him but the idea that he is a woman-hater is just nonsense.CAROL DUNCAN: I often see comments about the September federal election along these lines, "I wouldn't vote for the Liberal Party under Tony Abbott, but I would vote for it under Malcolm Turnbull."MALCOLM TURNBULL: That's very flattering and I'll always accept a compliment, you don't get a lot in politics. All I can say is that I am part of the Coalition collective leadership team. We are not electing a President. Tony Abbott is the leader, he will be Prime Minister if we win.CAROL DUNCAN: For better or worse a lot of Australians do actually vote on personality.MALCOLM TURNBULL: Yes but there is more than one personality in a government and there is more than one personality in an opposition, too, and so we are a team.So you might prefer Malcolm Turnbull to Tony Abbott or you might prefer Tony Abbott to Joe Hockey or Julie Bishop to all of us, but the fact is that we're all part of that group. We're a package deal.So all I can say to those people who say 'I'd rather have Malcolm Turnbull than Tony Abbott' is thank you, very much for that generous sentiment but I'd still urge you to vote Liberal because I will be there. I am part of the leadership team and it is a collective leadership team."CAROL DUNCAN: So for those people who aren't comfortable with Tony (Abbott) you'll be there to rein him and make him behave in the ways that perhaps they wish?MALCOLM TURNBULL: Well I'm not sure what they want me to rein him in on? When you ask people about that they keep on talking about his swimming attire. I don't know that that's my responsibility.CAROL DUNCAN: Are people perhaps concerned that his obviously strong faith will interfere with his policy-making decisions?MALCOLM TURNBULL: Well, I don't think there's any evidence for that. He's a very practical person. He recognises the Liberal party and indeed Australia is a very broad, diverse community.We use the expression 'a broad church' not to express that we're all religious but that there's a wide range of views, and as the leader you've got to accommodate all of those views and I sought to do that when I was leader.CAROL DUNCAN: There are lots of points that you two differ on, how hard is that?MALCOLM TURNBULL: Well we differ famously on the question of the republic but that is, in effect, a free vote issue in the Liberal party so there are plenty of Liberals who think we should be a republic, Peter Costello comes to mind, but there are plenty that don't - John Howard and Tony Abbott are staunch monarchists so the Liberal party survives notwithstanding differences of opinion.We have a common purpose in restoring capable, competent government that seeks to enable people to do their best rather than telling them what is best. So we've got a philosophy of government but we don't agree on every issue.

You can make a lot of other points about him but the idea that he is a woman-hater is just nonsense.CAROL DUNCAN: I often see comments about the September federal election along these lines, "I wouldn't vote for the Liberal Party under Tony Abbott, but I would vote for it under Malcolm Turnbull."MALCOLM TURNBULL: That's very flattering and I'll always accept a compliment, you don't get a lot in politics. All I can say is that I am part of the Coalition collective leadership team. We are not electing a President. Tony Abbott is the leader, he will be Prime Minister if we win.CAROL DUNCAN: For better or worse a lot of Australians do actually vote on personality.MALCOLM TURNBULL: Yes but there is more than one personality in a government and there is more than one personality in an opposition, too, and so we are a team.So you might prefer Malcolm Turnbull to Tony Abbott or you might prefer Tony Abbott to Joe Hockey or Julie Bishop to all of us, but the fact is that we're all part of that group. We're a package deal.So all I can say to those people who say 'I'd rather have Malcolm Turnbull than Tony Abbott' is thank you, very much for that generous sentiment but I'd still urge you to vote Liberal because I will be there. I am part of the leadership team and it is a collective leadership team."CAROL DUNCAN: So for those people who aren't comfortable with Tony (Abbott) you'll be there to rein him and make him behave in the ways that perhaps they wish?MALCOLM TURNBULL: Well I'm not sure what they want me to rein him in on? When you ask people about that they keep on talking about his swimming attire. I don't know that that's my responsibility.CAROL DUNCAN: Are people perhaps concerned that his obviously strong faith will interfere with his policy-making decisions?MALCOLM TURNBULL: Well, I don't think there's any evidence for that. He's a very practical person. He recognises the Liberal party and indeed Australia is a very broad, diverse community.We use the expression 'a broad church' not to express that we're all religious but that there's a wide range of views, and as the leader you've got to accommodate all of those views and I sought to do that when I was leader.CAROL DUNCAN: There are lots of points that you two differ on, how hard is that?MALCOLM TURNBULL: Well we differ famously on the question of the republic but that is, in effect, a free vote issue in the Liberal party so there are plenty of Liberals who think we should be a republic, Peter Costello comes to mind, but there are plenty that don't - John Howard and Tony Abbott are staunch monarchists so the Liberal party survives notwithstanding differences of opinion.We have a common purpose in restoring capable, competent government that seeks to enable people to do their best rather than telling them what is best. So we've got a philosophy of government but we don't agree on every issue.

Interview - Gary Yacoubian President of SVS Speakers From the SVS Website: SVS was founded in 1998 by four audiophile/engineers who noted that customers were paying too much for lackluster subwoofer performance because of a manufacturing to sales process that was stacked against the consumer. The conventional model, where just good enough subs were sold at high markups did a disservice to customers who wanted great audio experiences but didn't have unlimited funds. To fix a broken system, SVS pioneered a disruptive, future-facing model by investing heavily in product engineering and performance and reducing operational costs by selling direct to its customers over the Internet. Customers could demo world-class subwoofers and speakers in their homes exactly where the products would be installed, allowing them to make the most informed purchase decision possible, without risk. This strategy allowed SVS to establish a global presence and continues to earn acclaim from professional and amateur reviewers, in forums, and at audio shows, while continuing to grow retail and direct distribution. UHD Blu-ray Many of you either have or will soon have a new UHD TV that will be begging you to throw some UHD content at it. Right now you can stream UHD content from Netflix and Amazon but while good, its not nearly as good as you can get from disc. There aren't any discs, or players, out there that can support UHD. But there will be in the near future. The Blu-ray Disc Association has released a new specification that may help you justify the purchase of a shiny new UHD TV. So what do the new players and disc give you? Better Color Simply put, the new specification allows your TV to display more colors than your current HDTV. You probably are thinking that your TV already does a good job with this but it can only display about 30% of what your eye can see. The new specification will display about 75%. At this writing we don't know of UHD TV that supports this spec nor do we know when we will see content that does. But its nice to know that your player will be ready when the content is there! High Dynamic Range (HDR) If you have a relatively new smartphone you may have heard of this term. On your phone your camera takes two (or more) shots of the same image, one with the darkest exposure and one with the lightest. Then it combines the best of the images to create one that shows great detail in all areas, nothing washed out and blacks looking black. This will provide depth and greater contrast on screen. 10-bit Bottom line on this one is that it makes better color and HDR possible. Higher Frame Rates Until Hollywood shoots at 60 frames a second, think of this as future proofing the standard. This will help 3D as well. Better Compression There is a lot of data that needs to be stored on a disc for 4K so a more efficient way of compressing it is required. That's where H.265 comes into play. The High Efficiency Video Codec (HVEC) is twice as efficient as H.264 (mpeg4). As a side note, HVEC is what makes streaming 4K from Netflix and Amazon possible at 7 to 10Mbps. Now imagine how good it would be at a little more than 100Mbps. Yes it will be a while before streaming catches up to fixed media. Larger Capacity All those bits need to be stored someplace. The new discs will have capacities of 66GB or 100GB Audio TBD

Mike Intro: December 19. 2007: Broadband the AT&T and Qwest WayIn this podcast we discuss AT&T and Qwests Fiber to the Node projects. Mike: Gordon, can you give us a little background on what AT&T is doing?Project Lightspeed was announced as a 6 billion dollar project by AT&T in June 2004 and involves running optical fiber out to a remote terminal, or node and providing the last portion of the connection over copper wire. The project was ambitious from the start with initial plans to reach close to 19 million homes by the end of 2008. AT&T has given the product the name U-verse and at the TelcoTV conference last October, VP of converged services at AT&T Labs Research Peter Hill gave the keynote address featuring the product. Here's a few quotes from an October 26 CED Magazine post: AT&T’s roll out of its IPTV video services has been slower than it originally anticipated, but with more than 126,000 current subscribers, the company feels as though it’s on the right track. AT&T started the year with 3,000 video subscribers, then grew that base to 16,000 and 60,000, respectively, in the first and second quarters. “We’re past the point of last year where the question was, ‘Will IPTV scale?’,? said Peter Hill, VP of converged services at AT&T Labs Research, during the first keynote address Wednesday morning at TelcoTV. “You can’t get to that number (126,000 subscribers) without significant flow through and automation. We do have a competitive service and we can do it to scale.? Mike: There's always been concerns about bandwidth, especially when compated to products like the Verizon Fiber to the Home, or FiOS project. How is AT&T doing with U-verse?Bandwidth has been a major concern, with Hill commenting on the H.264 compression standard:“The encoding rates for H.264 have come down faster than we projected,? Hill said. “We’ll be able to do more channels in the same amount of bandwidth.?Mike: What other services will be available?Hill says the company will be adding home DVRs that allow satellite set-top boxes to show video downloaded to the DVR box. Hill also said the company will be adding to the current 30 high-definition channels next year along with photo-sharing and a Voice over IP (VoIP) service. Here's more interesting quotes from the CED Magazine piece:While cable executives have said there is no compelling reason to move to an IP infrastructure to deliver video services, Hill contends that IPTV is “very different from cable and satellite? because the nature of IP allows for easier integration among services while also allowing it to take advantage of Internet partners such as Amazon....... One of those features is “Cinema Center? that allows movies to be purchased from Amazon with one click. The movie portal content would be dynamic and would allow subscribers to view trailers prior to making their purchases. “We don’t have to create this stuff in IP because it reaches out to Web devices and incorporates them into IPTV,? Hill said. Hill demonstrated how an iPhone could be used to remotely program a home TV and how multiple cameras at live events could be selected by the viewer. He also demonstrated a feature that used an i-Phone to remotely configure channel favorites on a home TV. The application would give four different i-Phone users the ability to program their favorite shows on their household TVs. Also discussed was a Web cam feature that would let viewers in different locations view a live performance of a sporting event or dance concert based on IP technology that uses switched digital video. Mike: I know they had problems with the original set top box - any updates? Also, according to CED Magazine: During the question-and-answer segment, Hill said AT&T would continue to rely on the Motorola set-top box with the Sigma Designs processor as its main workhorse, although it’s also working with Scientific Atlanta on a box with the same signature. Hill expected new set-top boxes with second-generation chipsets from Sigma and Broadcom to be available in 2009. Mike: How is it selling?The U-verse product website lists:Subscribers: 126,000 U-verse TV and Internet subscribers in service (as of end of 3Q07) Homes Passed: Approximately 5.5 million living units (as of end of 3Q07) Deployment: Plans to pass approximately 8 million living units by the end of 2007Another interesting roll out to watch in 2008. Schedule: AT&T expects to reach nearly 18 million households as part of its initial deployment by the end of 2008. Mike: Speaking about FTTN - I know you recently blogged on Qwest and FTTN effort. Can you give us an update?Qwest is based in Denver and provides services to 14 states in the western part of the U.S.Earlier this week, Broadband Reports posted an interesting summary of a conference call with new (he started in August) Qwest CEO Ed Mueller. Here's a summary from the Broadband Reports post:Qwest will spend $300 million over the next two years to bring 20Mbps VDSL to around 1.5 million customers.- $70-100 million will be spent on FTTN this year and another $200 million next year. Qwest hopes to see a FTTN/VDSL penetration rate of 40% by 2010. Upgrades are going to cost the company around $175 per home. Qwest will focus on portions of around twenty un-mentioned markets.The Denver Post also published an article yesterday outlining the call and indicated the company will not focus on IP video delivery, stating "the $300 million fiber-to-the-node project is not intended as a deployment of IPTV." Qwest currently has a video agreement with DirectTV and it looks like that agreement will stay in place.The Post article gave a little more detail on deployment, stating the rollout "will focus on 20 markets with the project, 10 of its largest and 10 others." Also according to the article, Qwest has started to upgrade their network in Denver and Colorado Springs.Second generation VDSL (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line), referred to as VDSL2, provides up to 100Mbps over standard copper telephone wires.These will be exciting products to watch in 2008.
