It’s pretty basic language, but this video from Alcatel Lucent actually does a pretty good job of explaining to the general populous why we need a National Broadband Network. Although personally, I’m waiting for those holographic technologies they mention towards the end of the video to be unleashed… “Help us National Broadband Network – you’re our only hope!”

I’m all for the NBN, but lets keep it realistic there guys…
Excuse me while I retro fit my house network with fiber :D

It was going to be FTTN, but that would only provide 6mbps so no-one wanted it, now everyone’s welcoming FTTP.
