I agree with this point.
Unfortunately, clever business managers (in NBN) will be very capable of supporting the initial decisions with carefully selected business models, which clearly from Ferris' 'justification' points, include lavish helpings of the 'build it and they will come' justification strategies …
The technology game is all about building in accordance with an agreed business model. In this case, the existing infrastructure costs must have been inflated to compensate for Warren's point ...

When one has a large disgruntled workforce who refuse to do their jobs, one has a large cost burden to overcome in the business model.
If one has no solution to this problem other than rolling a truck to replace what is 'refused to be worked upon', then one might as well build in a technology which has a chance of satisfying them AND meeting future bandwidth needs.
… My (assuredly informed) 2 cents worth.
