It's what some of us realised from the start.He says that the NBN was an unaffordable brainfart.
Conroy has come out, at last.

You seem to have some issues with comprehension.
Perhaps that explains the post that started this whole thread off as well....Some guy you know said "The NBN is about to be rolled out in Townsville", which you heard as "The NBN has been cancelled".
I can see how the two can be confused. Just like your interpretation of what Conroy said.....

Read what he said.
"I think we underestimated the capacity of the construction industry to respond to the challenge and that has led to the majority of the publicity around the alleged blowouts, not that anybody can point to one," he said. "The construction model could be legitimately criticised."
Part of this was due to the government asking NBN Co to pick up the fibre construction for new housing estates, something he said NBN Co "wasn't prepared for", as well as the government's decision to include the 34 percent of premises in Australia that are part of a multi-dwelling unit (MDU).
"Saying that 34 percent of Australians were not left behind and weren't able to get access to the [1 Gbps] and beyond, was a tough decision because it meant MDUs were going to be dealt with on a much more rigirous basis than just putting a box into the basement, whatever that means," he said.
"[The construction targets] were always ambitious [and] that was an area where we were overly ambitious."
"Did you miss me?"
The ABC has obtained figures showing the network had passed 32,000 premises in the state in August, with no progress since.
But in seeking to protect his legacy, Conroy said that any further delays in the NBN rollout would be on the head of new Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and his decision to review the design of the NBN.
"The biggest threat to that ramp up will be the extent of any delay as Mr Turnbull's new board goes through all its reviews," he said.
"Any further delays to the rollout beyond the schedule in the revised plan that has now been submitted to Mr Turnbull ... will be a consequence of his policies and his change in policy agenda."
NBN Co’s 2012 corporate plan predicted the rollout would give access to 1028 existing homes and businesses a day by June 30, 2013.
This was then meant to ramp up to 3372 premises a day by June 30, 2014. But it is understood NBN Co is currently passing about 1250 premises a week.
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull recently downgraded NBN Co’s June 30, 2014 construction target from 1.3 million premises passed with fibre to 729,000, citing problems with the rollout.
According to a senior industry source close to the NBN, the missed targets were largely due to contractors slowing down.
Syntheo, which is a 50-50 joint venture between Service Stream and Lend Lease, is pulling out of contracts to build the network in Western Australia and South Australia.
“The productivity inside NBN Co at the moment is very low,” the company said.
“No one is pushing the contractors at the moment because there are all these reviews going on. There are so many issues it will probably take 12 months to turn around.”
What's left of Stephen Conroy's NBN house of cards though appears to be falling apart even before his seat has cooled.
Conroy may not have been the most impressive minister to be sworn in by an Australian governor-general, but it would be harsh to suggest the NBN debacle was caused by his particular incompetence.
Rather, like so many of the Rudd and Gillard administrations' failures, the NBN invested too much faith in the ability of the state to micro-manage private lives.
After everything we have learnt about government central planning over the past 60 years, the Rudd government's decision to nationalise broadband looked mad from the beginning.
Some four and a half years later, with fewer than 100,000 homes and businesses actually connected - a reach of less than 1 per cent - it looks stark, staring bonkers.
In Mandurah W.A they are connecting investment properties and holiday homes, that are empty. While businesses patiently wait.
NBN Co had projected in July that it would pass about 318,700 existing homes and businesses with fibre optic cabling by the end of September.
But as of October 7, the company had passed 227,454 premises – many of which were apartments and shopping arcades that can’t order an NBN service, according to internal statistics obtained by The Australian Financial Review.
But it is understood NBN Co is currently passing about 1250 premises a week.
Tasmania has been the worst affected state with the official number of premises that can connect to the NBN actually falling backwards over the past two months.
While 32,003 premises were counted as passed on August 12, this fell to 32,001 as of October 7, after NBN Co corrected inaccurate data.
1250 premises a week.The copper fantastic.
1250 premises a week.
How long will it take to get to 12 million at that rate ?
I'm not surprised you've given up defending it.
But in the meantime we have all those contracts signed for Labor's FTTP rollout.No probs. In 6 months we'll still be at 0 nodes installed, in 12 months probably 0 nodes as well, but you guys will still think there's double rainbows and unicorns simply due to a Liberal Federal Govt.
Care to offer a reason why MT hasn't released any of the assumptions made to come up with his FTTN costings? Why are they held like a top secret report i wonder?
