Financial comedy Gold!
I never did understand why Labor kept pushing this, it made no sense from the start, it simply seemed like a huge waste of money to deliver something that a number of private companies (small ISP's) are already providing.
But the masses really have no idea but it kept being told to them so it must be a good idea.
As the presentation showed, it was ill conceived and is being managed badly.
Is that just a sign of further to come??

Opps, my bad. I was looking at PIE, when the correct ticker was PWK.. That explains why i couldn't find the ASX release.

Great attachment, it's message was well put......the big thing for me is the chronic lack of consumer analysis.....

I actually had a bit of a look at the whole (FttN) issue last nite, and it seems
labor has got the numbers totally wrong...in its pre election promises.
8.7 billion wont even build half a good national network..hate to say it but
labor has turned the whole possess into a political exercise.
Telstra and Optus are the only telcos to pay the 5 million dollar (bidders) fee
to the negotiations...the others are banking consortium's and Tasmania.

I agree that the project is going to blow out in terms of cost when and if it gets completed some day...just the sheer scale of the project is concerning...its also a very risky investment imo, e.g. a lot of effort is going into utilising existing copper capacity esp. for adsl/broadband e.g. the melb phd student who came up with the upscaling technology...making a bold investment in fibre optics quite risky for those laying out the funds.
In saying that tho, its a step in the right direction, fttn is the way to go if we are to ever see connection speeds of 30-40+ mbps here in australia. Its a start, but there is a very loooooong way to go for australian to become internationally competitive in what it offers to broadband users.
btw, thanks for the ann link....quite a laught...loved the quotes
