The "bells-and-whistles" launch of NBN Co's first mainland release site in Armidale occurred yesterday, but its certainly didnt have anything on the Tasmanian launch.
Back in August last year, the Tasmania launch showed off over 9 different applications and services delivered over the network built by Opticomm including:
Add to this there are just SEVEN customers who have been connected to the network, whereas within 1 month (the same time since the first customer was connected in Armidale) Tasmania had already 70+ customers connected. And it was suggested by Archie Wilson from NBNco that Opticomm couldn't deliver their needs for greenfields.
So a demonstration which was setup in less than 4 days by Opticomm showed the full functionality of the network, but NBNco couldnt even deliver a telephone service.
