Writing Assemblers... What should a good assembler do?

[cjs]

NBN is only an internet Data service. And currently the only way for millions of Australians to have a home non-cellular telephone service with a handset in Australia too. Unless you steal a payphone ( which, interestingly, still exist ) and drag the wires into your home. I still have a normal handset connected to mine. Mainly I've had one for years simply so my MIL could call my wife at local call rates.

Unless Wikipedia is massively incorrect, you have it backwards. It says that NBN provides no Internet connectivity at all; you get that from "Retail service providers," who are also customers of NBN: "NBN Co wholesales Layer 2 network access to retail service providers (RSPs), who retail Internet access and other services."

This is how it works in Japan, too, and I think you may have no idea how lucky you are to have this. Internet access in the U.S. has been severely crippled because some facilities owners have an effective monopoly on "last mile" service, and force you to buy Internet access from them as well.f
