Ultimately, the network will be capable of data-transmission speeds of up to one gigabit per second, says John Lindsay, carrier relations manager at Internode, an Internet service provider that delivers broadband to Fernbrooke and across Australia. "The network will evolve over a 40-year period," he says. "Fiber is a pretty future-proof technology...

Thankfully, its capacity for transmission, its virulence, turned out to be relatively low compared to what we'd originally estimated...
