MICHAEL BRISSENDEN: Kevin Rudd today announced a bold plan to invest $4.7 billion in a joint public/private partnership to build a broadband network that would double the speed in five years and bring broadband within reach of 98 per cent of the population. Australia's broadband speeds and access have been the subject of some high powered criticism of late, not least from Rupert Murdoch, who described it as a disgrace. Many in the IT industry are also frustrated. To date the Government and Telstra have relied on the old copper network to deliver broadband. As Mike Quigley from the IT giant Alcatel-Lucent told this program a few weeks ago, Australia needs to do something more soon.
And 100billion? Worst Libs could do was 94 billion before over estimating back at 71 billion (higher contingency in their FTTN plan so actually 58 billon as a fair comparison).
It's a completely different project, Labor cancelled the original because it was unworkable and not worth the cost, the Coalition are the ones doing a FTTN and it's costing them at least $40-something billion, much higher than their fully costed $29 billion and they're doing it to a much smaller portion of the nation with no speed guarantees.I really cant imagine anyone in the real world ie private sector, saying that oh well, the project is going to cost circa 20 times what I originally envisaged.
Very hard to comprehend how anyone can just pass off the monumental waste and incompetence as nothing to worry about
Thanks mate. Seems all to hard for meds to understand, shows he has no credibility on this subject if he thinks they are anywhere near the same. We already knew that though.It's a completely different project, Labor cancelled the original because it was unworkable and not worth the cost, the Coalition are the ones doing a FTTN and it's costing them at least $40-something billion, much higher than their fully costed $29 billion and they're doing it to a much smaller portion of the nation with no speed guarantees.
Also private sector isn't the real world it's the surreal word.
so the NBN FTTH at any price then?
They are doing FTTN at any cost for no increase in performance...
Enlighten us on this better way with the government stepping away that won't see closed network access and centred only on significantly profitable metro areas. Please include details how you will make our fixed communications sector competitive again.just as bad
There is a much better way to do this but it does require the government to step away. Unfortunately this has become an issue that "gives" politicians relevance in the eyes of the voters.
Don't know how such a smart man has got it so wrong although I still have a bit of a soft spot for Turnbull. http://www.malcolmturnbull.com.au/media/march-enews#disqus_thread.
Such a shame to lose the leadership by one vote, would love to have seen what sort of PM he would have made.
I have actually, remind me.
Don't know how such a smart man has got it so wrong although I still have a bit of a soft spot for Turnbull. He is the only one that makes it possible for people to comment on his web site. Four interesting comments on this topic and interestingly 77 comments on the Brandis reforms and love the comments on Knights and Dames 97 comments.

Actually don't waste too much time thinking about it as it makes me ill.
Have you forgotten Tones was re-elected unapposed after the 2010 election.
Abbott, the only LOTO that got rid of 3 Prime Ministers.
