If the NBN lasts for as long as the copper network, then won’t these prices fall over time?
First we used to pay for a line that had no internet capability at all. Then we started paying for 56bkps what we pay for 8mbps now. Is there anything to suggest that over the longer term this trend would not continue?

They'll purchase whatever is needed to service their customers. Currently Telstra is paying little to get their data off their layer 2 network and onto their IP network. Under the NBN they will be paying international IP transit providers $1 a megabit per second for your downloads AND an ADDITIONAL 20 x that to NBN Co. Over and above today. You will get that cost. But I think the point is entirely lost on your because you don't know the difference between TCP/IP and Ethernet. So when Malcolm Turnbull says it’s going to cost $20,000 to connect up every household, I call BS, because, quite simply, it was never suggested before he said it, it was never practical, it was a statement designed to deceive the public and it is complete and utter BS. NBN is offering 1gbps connections with promoted future scenarios with high def video and whatnot. Hell, the ads show kids looking at 3D frogs floating above macintoshes. Whether you have VDSL2+ vectoring or fibre or a zillion gigabits of perf, it doens't matter a jot if you can't use it. Turnbull is perfectly right in pointing this out. When I was a kid my Dad used to crack the shits all the time for leaving lights on and wasting money. In the future the mothers of Australia will be screaming at the kids "TURN OFF THE 3D TV! YOU'RE WASTING MY GOOD NBN!" David.
