The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
The first problem solved would be to “allow people who live in apartments, where phones are connected via in-building cables rather than directly from the exchange, to order a Naked ADSL2+ service.”
The second would eliminate “the need for customers to take a day off work to allow a telecom technician to connect up wiring in the customer's premises, as no on-site work is required.”
However there still remains a hitch preventing all that want Internode’s Naked ADSL2+ services from getting it, and although there is a solution, it could result in some down time.
Kellett explained that Internode is “unable to accept Naked ADSL2+ orders from residents who lacked a continuous copper path to the exchange or whose phone line used a Spectrum Shared ADSL service such as ADSL2+”, saying that: “At present, Telstra offers no process to move customers from Spectrum Shared to the Unbundled Local Loop service required for Naked ADSL2+.”
The solution is relatively simple, but potentially time consuming, depending on a customer’s existing set-up.
Kellett said that: "Such customers can move to Naked by disconnecting their Shared Spectrum service first, before converting the voice line to Naked mode - although this involves a period of ‘down time'.”
Kellett finished by saying that: “However, the one-step Convert process will work fine if the line does not have ADSL or uses ADSL from a Telstra DSLAM, such as BigPond or a Telstra Wholesale service used by many ISPs including Internode."
