This news has unearthed the broadband reality in the country. Before this everyone was of the view that currently the country had the best broadband services and coverage which would be multiplied over 10 times with the increase in the coverage of high speed optic fibre broadband connections. But when what happened with a couple in Cumbria hit the newsstands, the citizens came face to face with the fact that the dream of universal broadband in the country is still far from being realized.
Here’s what happened. Ray and Frei Walker stay in Cumbria and have their business in Dufton, near Appleby. Last week they applied to their telephone exchange, where BT provides access, for a switchover from dial-up connection to broadband connection and as a response were given a hefty bill of 45 thousand pound. This despite the fact that many residents in the village do have access to broadband connections but when Walker’s applied for one, they were refused on account of insufficient capacity and asked to pay a bill of 4k pounds if they wanted one.

As a result, they are forced to run their business on slow connection and face lots of problems. Walkers are really disillusioned over the whole issue and reported it to the daily media. What is un-understandable here is that why BT wanted them to pay for the network capacity of entire village. Because of low connectivity, Ray Walker isn’t able to even construct his business’ website which is a must for him.

The Telstra deal isn’t expected anytime soon
All eyes were set on the Telstra –NBN deal, over the network integration of the former with that of the latter. A major announcement was due before or maximum by 11th February, when Telstra was due to disclose its profits for the six months. But nothing as such came through.
The government of Australia had in the month of November, offered Telstra $42 billion for the use of its networks and other allied infrastructure for the setting up of NBN’s high speed optic fibre broadband network. Telstra is seemingly not satisfied with the price government has offered and apparently this is proving to be the major roadblock in the development of any favorable response.

According to the latest developments, Telstra’s CEO David Thodey said that he will not give in to any pressures on part of the government or any external party and take his own time to decide the deal as its outcome would affect the interests of the company as well as the shareholders.

The deal is very important for the government because setting up a high speed optic fibre network in the country was one of its main agendas during the election campaign and its high time for it to start working on the same and achieve the promised goals before the next elections are due in the year 2012. It had also devised a plan B to force the company Telstra into conceding to the proposed deal. Not it is a matter of time before anything concrete can be decided on this.

But this isn’t the exact case why the first half year results of Australia’s one of the best telecom service providers was awaited. The whole country was actually waiting to know whether the proposed deal between NBN and Telstra would get through or not. Australian government had offered Telstra $42million for its cable networks and subscriber base for its prospective high speed optic fibre broadband project in the country through its flagship telecom company NBN. The deal was proposed in November last year but till now no decision has been reached on it. The price is being seen as the major roadblock as Telstra is seeking more for the external use of its assets. Now we can wait and watch for any favorable or unfavorable developments on the deal.
