Such a load of politically inspired crap from Mr Q.
The towers that exist with few exception ATM are bottom shelf in design...each one is made to a minimum standard and supported to only just do the job and expected to fail to keep up into the future as greater needs progress......upgrades are being done all the time....no one would have wireless ATM if upgrades when applicable where not done.
One tower if designed to could service 50-100 times the bandwidth if it where deemed necessary...more even when todays new tech gets licensed.
It's a red herring to talk of a future fiber network that needs to terminate at every single houses front door (every single one) and has yet to be built with a SINGLE tower that could (if actually built to the spec) could service 20k people.
Crikey if telecommunications law lightened up on it's dinosaur like distance and signal strength dumbed down wireless criteria a tower could be built to easily service the bandwidth needs of a million customers and some of them might even be 80+km away from the tower(telstra has successfully tested what is now old technology at 200km ranges)........thats one tower replacing enough fiber to encircle the world??? 1 tower be 100k times less times the physical mass of all that fibre???, require 20k times less maintenance over lifetime??? I dunno but it paints a picture if logical enough to see it.
There are no actual real limiting factors for wireless technology, none! behaviorally in use (the elephant in the room NBNers hate to pay attention to) or any other.
