Week 10 Reading #2: ‘Asynchronous speeds: Disentangling the discourse of ‘high-speed broadband in relation to Australia’s national broadband network’
This second reading we were set to do, was not quite something that interests me and to be honest I don’t completely understand the relevance of it towards what we are doing. This reading talked much about broadband speed, internet and the politics about it. It was interesting in which I don’t really think about broadband speed in a deep level only to the point where I am trying to load something I get frustrated when it doesn’t work fast. The understanding that I got from this reading was the idea about how households don’t understand the Australians National Broadband Network (NBN) in relation to infrastructure networks, communication devices, location etc. Today we buy a broadband pact for you’re household hoping that it loads research fast, being able to stream online and not run out. This is what we view it as, but behind that there is so much more detail that the NBN has to go to in order to aline with this perception. Without broadband media would not be in the frame that it is today, and for that audiences and the media industry have to thank.
