At a cost of $43Billion, I think we could happily live without any of
that. When we have no food or water, I guess it will give us a
distraction. But when we have no electricity, how will we power our
computers?

**The discussion is not about the cost, but about the use of the NBN. You'll
get no argument from me that there are areas where the money could be better
spent. The thought of (eventually) being able to rip down those ridiculous
Fotel and Optus cables is a wonderful thing.

[ASIDE] One of the funniest things I saw a few years back, was the results
of a truck almost passing under an Optus cable, strung across the road. The
damage to the house and cable was amazing.

Bloody stupid things. Should never have been allowed to be strung overhead.
Fibre will allow them to be dispensed with.

Pity most of the fibre will be done the same way.

 

[Mr.T]

Usually,the fibre is further away, about 100 metres into the paddocks.
easier access and only a few fences to cut and repair as they lay it out.

But no plan to upgrade those gravel roads! Nor any plan for a High speed
National Rail freight network. And only one extra passenger rail line
proposed. I'm still puzzled why broadband is considered more important than
housing, food, electricity, water, public transport and roads?

So does wireless.

Heed the lessons from Rome; reject the bread and circuses.

Already do, it's the other 90% of the population that is the big problem!
