Former NBN Co boss Mike Quigley warns Government review not to rewrite history - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Former NBN Co boss Mike Quigley warns Government review not to rewrite history - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): "The former head of the National Broadband Network has warned the new management team not to rewrite history in its review of the NBN.

Mike Quigley was chief executive of NBN Co, the company rolling out the network, between 2009 and his retirement in October this year.

His replacement, former Telstra chief executive Ziggy Switkowski, is in the middle of a strategic review of the entire company.

It is investigating the viability of the former Labor government's fibre to the premise (FttP) approach.

The Coalition's fibre to the node (FttN) alternative takes the fibre to street cabinets and then uses the legacy copper network for the last link to the home.

FttP provides ultimately faster speeds, although an FttN network would be cheaper and completed faster."
