this is a tricky question and probably some thing no one can answer but i will ask anyway.

What is cost currently for Telecom to roll out Rev a to it's current Rev 0 sites? 70% of network? $60mil, $100mil?

I am keen to know for commercial reasons, i have some interested parties i work with who are interested to know what it would cost to roll out to the whole network as a alturnitive to DSL and other technologies.It was over a few beers but it has been brought up a few times and these people are not adverse to investment if it's worth it, i think they believe it could be worth it if the numbers stack up.

Telecom wont at the mo or in forseeable future as they want to keep revenues in DSL market, howevey if they didn't have to pay and got a large growth in broadband customers it may be some thing worth doing.

Any way pipe dream but if Telstra thinks it's worth look ing at well you never know.
