Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

After the last debacle where politicians seized on 'statistics' comparing Australia's broadband performance against those of other OECD countries, only to find the data refuted by the OECD, you would think the would be more careful about making knee-jerk reactions to figures comparing Australia to other OECD countries without first checking the facts.

It's a shame that Australia's dominant fixed line carrier, Telstra, is also the largest mobile operator both by subscriber numbers and, more importantly, by coverage. Because this prevents us from seeing what might happen if a cellular network operator using HSDPA went head to head in competition with a fixed broadband operator.

Among all the claims and counter claims of the WiMAX and 3G/HSPA camps is the claim that, thanks to higher volumes, HSPA user devices will be much cheaper. The WiMAX camp argues otherwise, and the entry of a very large player like Linksys in the home/SOHO networking market would certainly drive prices down.

Communications minister Helen Coonan has just announced plans to spend $1 billion of taxpayers' money to bring high speed broadband services to 99 percent of the population by mid 2009, but she's not going to stop there, and Opel Networks could be in prime position to get almost half as much again in three years time.
