My 2c, it is the biggest suck of goverment money. I would rather see a roads, rail and water for my $50B
Germany can do it, because they have 81M people in 357,000 sq km. NSW has 7M in 800,000 sq km.
The goverment has already stated once it is built they are going to sell it. So where are we different to where we are with Telstra.
The previous governments OPEL initiative was probably closer to what is required, subsidies and initiatives for remote area communications.
Of the 22M people in Australia, who is going to buy it?
There are people without houses, without food, with medical care, but we will give every person a $3000 fibre connection with their weetbix.
Our goverment will be in surplus in 3 years, that just means that is when we can only start paying back the debt we have accummulated in the last 3 years. AND the NBN is not part of that debt, it is another $50B+ on top.
