Summary of Senate Committee so far (from Whilpool user):
+ gigabit FTTP available now to anyone who already has FTTP on NBN – one positive!
- $8million spent on the Strategic Review which has been shown to be full of dodgy financial figures and factually incorrect rollout figures
- Cost of Telstra CAN not included in MTM & FTTN plans
- Cost of Telstra & Optus HFC networks not included in MTM & FTTN plans
- Telstra claims CAN is in great shape, then admits that 2mbps on a 20mbps ADSL connection is considered acceptable
- Malcolm Turnbull has advised NBN co to not release the figures to Senate Select committee under any circumstances, even a closed in camera session
- Telstra shareholdings for execs in NBN Co aren't required to be disclosed as conflicts of interest despite execs pushing for more of the funds to go to Telstra
- Ziggy and JB Rousselot think there is no demand for higher speed (up to 1gbps) connectivity
- 25/10 and 50/20 as ideal VDSL2+ speeds, but not guaranteed
- The HFC networks will not need to be resold through RSPs – it will be Telstra and Optus HFC only
- no upgrades to the HFC networks costed into the MTM plans
- When questioned about option 4 in the strategic review, no answer was given as to why option 6 was preferred
- NBN Co board members and exec team hired due to personal relationship with Malcolm Turnbull, not due to skill or competence
- JB Rousselot confirms that places with bad broadband access currently will not be prioritised for the NBN rollout, and that they will be focussing on the more profitable areas, whilst not rolling out the product which can provide the largest profit margin (FTTP)
- Internal house-hold wiring remediation will need to be done at the cost of the end-user
- VDSL2 modems will need to be purchased by consumers for their FTTN connections
- The Strategic Review found no material issues with NBN Co's FTTP rollout expenses to date yet states the rollout cost blowout to $73bn
- Many of the Telstra execs involved in halting the FTTP rollout due to asbestos issues are now working as execs for NBN Co
- The CFO of NBN Co is conveniently on holiday out of the country, and the chairman of the board/ acting CEO thinks his input isn't relevant to the Strategic Review
- NBN Co have slowed the rollout of FTTP at the direct instruction of Malcolm Turnbull which adds $11b to the cost of the projection of a full FTTP rollout
and finally
- $41b* (final figure not confirmed due to aforementioned omissions) to guarantee no speeds to anyone.
