Come on - I thought that was a pretty good comeback. Anyway, who says I support the liberal plan? I am pretty sure I am on the record for saying the Commonwealth should not be spending *any *money on this except for structural and blackspot issues.
Just because I called bullshit on Ken saying "Those in the HFC areas will end up with the worst of the possible options." doesn't automatically make me an advocate for the current government's plan. $52.38 is good value for 375:1 if you look at it on its own - but pretty much every ISP is on the record as saying something different... then again I guess they have those annoying pricks called shareholders to contend with. *iiNet * 1.4million subscribers (2011 figures, could find 2013) Market cap ~$960million NPAT ~61million CVC charges alone assuming we all get 1gbps for future 3D holographic frogs and shit: 3000:1: $112million per annum 375:1: $692million per annum 120:1 (same as a cheap provider today): $2.1 billion per annum 50:1 (same as a quality provider today): $5 billion per annum I guess it is a good outcome that at 5500:1 could send their entire post tax profits to NBN Co. Anything better (for the consumers) than that then Korda Mentha will be paying them a visit. Even if you run the numbers of ADSL 2+ speeds: 50:1 = 161 million a year 100:1 = 80 million a year (says they spend $30mil on dark fibre and peering costs so I'll give you a free kick by deducting the full $30million from the above when you make it balance). I guess seeing as I think both parties are retarded means I am partisan. David.
