Thats Classic Julia.
"should of" - this one irritates me, but what can I do?
On the other hand any shorter version of communication message increases speed of the Internet, bringing us back to the topic of this thread.
I really cannot go along with that analysis. All that will do is confuse the younger generation in the correct spelling and enunciation of the English language.
The Oxford dictionary pronounces language as 'laeggwadz.'
No wonder kids and some adults become confused.
Sorry once again for getting off the track of this thread.
I don't know where 'guvmint' came from. I'd have suggested a more appropriate spelling for the common pronunciation of 'government' is 'gummint'. The 'v' is omitted.
I think WayneL was on to this long ago.
Just laziness and not on a par in the woeful pronunciation stakes with a Prime Minister who says 'hyperbowl' for 'hyperbole'.!
5. Due to the resources boom, labour costs have increased (for all infrastructure projects across Australia) affecting the cost for a dozen regional rollouts - 1/3 the total rollout cost. The tendered costs were too high. A new tender process is likely for a "national rollout contract" rather than the original "multi-contractor tender". Suggestions that the entire project is a train wreck are overwrought.
So_Cynical what is so silly about two N.B.N's? We already have one (Telstras), the guvnmnt want to put in a second one then disable the first so they have a monopoly.
They could leave the existing one there, THAT WOULD BE TWO, but then they would have competition. I really can't see what you are talking about when you say I am being silly? Maybe you could enlighten me.
Actually the guvnmnt is so $h**t scared to leave the existing one they had to draft punitive laws and threaten the competion (Telstra) with exclusion from the 4g spectrum. Maybe you have information I don't.
As for country people paying the same as city Telstra tried to get the ACCC to allow them to charge a flat access price to the parasites on their network(rather than a low price for the city and a high one for the country). Which would stop them Cherry Picking.
But the ACCC wouldn't let them, now the N.B.N comes along and they are granted the very thing Telstra was denied. Just shows what self serving people they all are.
Telstra was prepared to spend their money to upgrade the system but wanted assurances that they would get a reasonable return on their investment. The ACCC would not give them that and so the trouble began. Now the guvnmnt is building it they legislate to ensure they have no competition and get a reasonable rate of return. To me there is only one here who looks silly.:
JULIA Gillard's top salesman for climate change action and a former judge are on a shortlist of candidates to promote the $36bn NBN.
The Australian understands the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy is looking to recruit about a dozen "NBN champions" who would be conscripted to publicly spruik the benefits of the Gillard government's $36bn wholesale fibre network, if a yet-to-be-revealed communications strategy gets the green light.
Tim Flannery, who earns a salary of $180,000 for three days a week as the Prime Minister's chief climate change commissioner, is one of several high-profile names already identified by the department on an unpublished short-list of potential candidates.
Retired High Court judge Michael Kirby, a former self-confessed luddite who recently set up a Twitter account that has more than 3000 followers, is also among the contenders as a possible NBN champion.
Do U still reckon it's toast ?For what it is worth, an update on the NBN Fiasco from the latte machine of Power, which passes for our gummint, guvmint,guvment, (choose).
