I think more open minded debate is required sadly I believe that political ideology is at the hub of this debate. The copper network is obsolete it costs more per year to keep it operational than it is worth it is failing.

Sure high speed data is nice, but at the risk of being repetitive, life can go on quite well without it.

This is where the problems start to arise. The legislation that has been put in place means that any new technology can only be implemented by NBN, it is their Non Compete clause. "I" cannot roll out some newer fancier technology that delivers twice the performance at half the price than NBN anytime in the future, it has to come through NBN.
