Optus HFC is a land based local loop. Who cares that the line is composed of
copper (or aluminium)?

True competition does not necessarily involve price competition

You flagrantly dishonest dunny cleaning fuckwit child.

Someone commenting on the copper monopoly clearly does,
you flagrantly dishonest dunny cleaning fuckwit child.

It clearly isnt in the sentence at the top, you flagrantly dishonest dunny cleaning fuckwit child.

And it's rollout is restricted to a small number of suburbs around some of the
capitals' suburbs.

If it was widely available, then yeah, it could be considered as a true
competitor to the national copper residential/business network.

> True competition does not necessarily involve price competition

Yes it does. Otherwise it's not competition.

NextG ostensibly competes with other wireless networks because of its very
nature of mobility. In terms of providing a total residential solution, or even
a total business solution It cannot hope to compete with a landline system
because of the large disparities in cost

It isnt that small.

Wrong, you can also have competition on reliability of service and other things too.

That varys with how the broadband is used. The cost difference
isnt that great when the monthly volume isnt over 1G for example.

Your problem

Covering millions of customers makes it "widely available"

Nope

Clearly you dont know what competition is.

How is it "my problem"?

Or is this your way of retaliating when someone offends poor old Telstra's
sensibilities?

No it doesn't. Not when there are many more "millions" who don't get it.

To you, maybe. But then, in the words of Rod, you are completely and utterly
irrelevant when it comes to, well, anything, I s'pose.

But then, with you being a Telstra droid and sock puppet, the term "competition"
is as probably as unpalatable as say, the rest of us having red hot spikes
driven up our clackers...
