I think working remotely is the biggest furphy ever put forward. We've had the opportunity to work remotely for years, but it's simply not in the culture of the majority of organisations to accept (someone working from home is clearly slacking off etc). For some it isn't even practical, as the work involves direct interraction with numerous people (shops, services etc), where digital face time just doesn't work.
As for costs, there is much debate about that at the moment and to recover the enormous cost and cover profit, someone has to pay.

But it wont cost anything initially except the money paid by the government you will be able to go on as usual telstra and the other phone companies have agreed to transfer their customers to the fibre optic network so everything will go on as it is now the only difference is that your phone and internet will go over fibre instead of copper. I really don't understand everyone's problem this is just changing from copper to fibre bringing our telecomunications network into line with most other countries in the world. Taking Telstra's monopoly on the network away which is a good thing in my thinking
