I find your version of democracy very entertaining. Everyone who voted obviously agreed with every single policy of the party they voted for. Otherwise they would have just ticked the box that said "This is my preferred government but I don't agree with every one of their policies". (Election == petition) == laughable. I doubt Turnbull will see it that way. Anyway, all indications are that you're going to be able to get FTTP if you want it for a grand or two install. I think Optarse is already proposing to bury the last mile fibre cost in 24 month contracts ... no doubt if that do that everyone else will. Bypassing the node? Or will there still be an active termination at the node, and then another run of fibre to the premises? The latter scenario is what is going make this such a short term infrastructure play. Eventually, in 5, 10 or 20 years, all these nodes are going to be too much hassle to maintain (assuming everyone paid for FTTP, and there’s no copper in play), so then what do we do?
