Hard to know if I’m better off with a network that wouldn’t have arrived in my working lifetime, or a hopeless one. Neither would have given me what I needed.
I would have happily paid many thousands for a connection and a few hundred per month if it actually arrived and worked, but I’m guessing that’s the minority. We should have just taken it as a nation building program and funded and resourced it appropriately.

It was always going to take some time to ramp up. Look at what the alternative gave us: a two year delay and a network that's not fit for purpose. Even if they kept the old network and simply rolled it out slower we would have been better off. In fact, I think that's what people really wanted - better management. But we didn't end up getting that, the Liberals simply showed us they were just as bad if not worse at managing that project than Labor. Who would have thought?

Oh they handed over a crap load of money. I think given the choice Telstra would have done no deal at all, except for the strategic importance of RF spectrum. Conroy isn't exactly a respected figure. In retrospect, maybe he and Telstra were a match made in heaven. http://www.smh.com.au/it-pro/government-it/senators-red-undie-remarks-fall-flat-in-new-york-20120928-26pqt.html -- David Connors [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | @davidconnors | https://t.me/davidconnors | LinkedIn | +61 417 189 363
