To: Letters Editor, The Age,From: Kendall Lovett, (address and phone number provided)
The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has highlighted the need for an NBN that is adequately equipped to facilitate telehealth, tele-education and teleworking.
We need a better digital network for the current crisis --the pandemic as well as the floods and bush fires which preceded it.
According to Laurie Patton, former Internet Australia executive director, the federal government should immediately fund the NBN company to employ suitably qualified people being retrenched, train them and deploy them to start upgrading the FTTN (copper wire) connections so that everyone has access to fast broadband.
That would be a step in the right direction now and help working people at home during the pandemic while fixing an underlying flaw that limits the effectiveness of the NBN.
Signed: Kendall Lovett.
