I guess it depends on perspective. Conservatives characteristically have
great difficulty perceiving value. Cost therefore looms large. Any cost.
I've heard it said that, for less than a dollar per week on average over
its anticipated service life, we could implement fibre to every premises
on the mainland, Tasmania and probably quite a few of the other islands.
If we went as high as $2/premises per week, who knows what we could
achieve? Might even do New Guinea and part of Indonesia. ;)
Is $1 per week costly?
