Please don't think of the NBN as "high speed internet".

It's a nationwide, ubiquitous, wholesale-only, open-access broadband utility that will be of tremendous value to all citizens in the coming decades, connecting and empowering all with the existing and yet-to-be -invented services that it can accommodate, to even the remotest premise, whether home or business.

It's cost is spread over 8 years and, with the Telstra agreement, will be revenue positive in around 5 years. It's not a waste of money.

I'm retired, 50 years in telecoms, and that email is just plain wrong.
