Back in the early 90s I was the NZ govt’s first ICT advisor, working for the Minister of ICT. A concept in vogue then was the Negroponte Switch, broadly this was the notion that phones shouldn’t be wired and TVs should, which was the opposite of the situation as it was then. Now, many of us don’t have what we have come to call landlines, and all streaming and some live TV is delivered over fibre. (I watched the rugby game tonight over fibre, for instance.) Seems Mr Negroponte was right!
