The NBN is not created equally!

There are a range of Fiber to the Home/Fiber and Fibre To The Node FTTN to the Premise providers are known as Telecommunications Carriers (Carriers) and are required to obtain a carrier licence from the Australian Communications and Media Authority. (ACMA). These different models provided by these carriers affect owners in different ways. Some providers restrict the use and management of the owners telecommunications cabling which affect the enjoyment of services and types of services that can be accessed. We also want to help educate consumers and carriers about the different service models, the impact it has on the people in their fiber access footprint.  Proeye will be developing a new web site that specifically deals with NBN matters, FTTP and FTTN service models, the pros and cons about the technologies, and eBooks and occasional information papers.
