What, that he should get away with misrepresenting what was on offer? Yes, I think you’re right, that was his point. Worked pretty well, too, I see.

At least $20,000 a month. $20,000 a month in combined virtual circuit charges … The reality is this: if you want to have a guaranteed one gig service, your retail service provider will have to buy one gig of CVC for you and that is gonna cost $20,000 a month.” “For the average household?” asked Alberici. Turnbull responded: “Well, for any household, which is why, by the way, nobody will buy it other than businesses that need a very big … That is a typically deceptive political response and is a load of complete Liberal Party BS and Malcolm Turnbull lost any credibility he had with me when he said it. It won’t cost $20,000 a month for ANY household. A single household never needs a continuous stream of data getting a maximum of 1Gbps at all times, so it is shared among a whole bunch a households. So a single CVC line might be split between 10 to 20 houses. On top of this, CVC charges will have to come down over time due to economy of scale.

Cashing out Internode for 7% of iiNet or whatever it was he got is a financial feat few achieve in their lifetime. I would estimate that there is a very high correlation of FTTP die-hard to Simon Hackett fanboi. It will be funny to watch Whirlpool chew on an HFC/FTTP/FTTN plan endorsed by Hackett. SIMON! YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME! During the election, Turnbull wrote at length about CVC charges and correctly identified that an uncapped 1gbps service would cost $20K a month in wholesale fees and charges. Hackett is also an outspoken critic of the CVC charges as well. The only reason the NBN is affordable at all at the moment is that the rollout was so ballsed up that no single service area has enough connections so all the RSPs get a 100% CVC rebate. The entire financial edifice of the NBN is built upon a legally mandated monopoly funded by extortionate network access charges for the RSPs. It will be interesting to see how they address that as they're on the record as calling it out. David. No virus found in this message.
