Abstract :
The major forces viewed by the author as shaping broadband network evolution in Australia are examined. The discussion focuses on market influences, the role of video services, the expected level of penetration of broadband networks relative to narrowband networks, and the introduction of the optical fiber local loop. Network intelligence and control and the transmission infrastructure are considered. An overall network evolution scenario for the customer sectors expected to be the main users of broadband services is proposed.<>
