Wow, you focussed on a less relevant part of the document like a pro! I guess we’ll have to skip the part where the Liberals are spending just as much on the NBN as Labor but getting a significantly inferior system that lacks value for money. And they call themselves economic managers?
19) The UK will be frozen out of Cloud Computing without a bandwidth everywhere 20) Bandwidths like 1Gbit/s might look huge today but they will look puny tomorrow 21) In my lifetime fast was: 90, 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 9600, 18,200, 56,000, 64,000, 365 bit/s…,1, 2, 10, 20, 100, 200, 1000Mbit/s……why would anyone think this progression would stop or even slow down ?? I don’t have a problem with the government focussing on the metropolitan areas first before dealing with the country, but to give us Fibre to the Node in the city? As Cochrane says, 9) More equipment and interface types than necessary is really bad engineering 14) FTTH provides a future proofing, ease of operation, lowest cost and the ultimate flexibility 15) FTTC/K et all with electronics between switch and customer just adds unreliability operating costs A lot of countries are planning 10Gbps networks, and the Liberals are promising 25Mbps. 10Gbps is 400 times as fast as the Liberals promised speed, and 10 times faster than Labor’s.

Since 2009, BT has passed 16 million premises with FTTx. Since 2009 NBN Co has "passed" 200K and a good chunk of those can't order the service. They've also spent 12% of the capex delivering 0.5% of the FTTP connections. His arguments are irrational. They only way to deliver something of this size is to be transport agnostic, stage the delivery and don't do stupid shit like throwing out 3.5million perfectly good 100mbps services that exist today so you can buy 100mbps services that double the cost in 2020. Why the Labor Party had so much difficulty selling this we will probably never know. The only way to sell the NBN is to ignore time and money. The electorate isn't that stupid. David.
