My contacts tell me it will be mothballed. Not shut done, just pink-batted.

Legislation:
The NBN is supported by several pieces of legislation. The coalition won't have power in the Senate, and both the ALP, indies and greens support the NBN. That will make repealing the legislation difficult.
Oh, well if they think it, then make it so. Heaven forbid the Govt not listen to every unqualified lobby group, and instead base their decisions on the advice of industry experts. You haven't answered my question though. How would you assess the benefits of uses not yet envisaged? Or do you think there will be no new uses for broadband?
The NBN doesn't "bypass" anyone. 93% get fibre, 4% get wireless and 3% get satellite. That's no secret, and never has been. The fibre coverage was actually increased from an original target of 90% to 93% on the recommendation of KPMG-McKinsey.
Then we have troubles, 16 Labor senators vulnerable but i would reckon Bob Brown and the other 2 green Senators would be safe....surely the Australian electorate would not be stupid enough to hand the coalition the senate as well...look at what happened last time.

You don't have to look back at all. Just look at the disater currently happening with Bob having control of both houses.

I'm not sure what your point is.
The article is technically wrong. The NBN has never promised to cover "93% of the country" with fibre, they promise "93% of the population".

This is the original statement! Then it was upgraded.
I do not see population.
It was following this that Gillard made some sort of statement about taking the fibre cable to the homes.
And I think it was her statement that resulted in debates about what She said and what the NBN statement said.
I now give up!!

To date the NBN Co. has 4000 clients and 900 employees of whom 862 work mainly in corporate offices in Sydney and Melbourne.
The average wage cost per employee is $163,000 a year.
The $1 billion they have spent so far on rollout, works out at $250,000 per connection.
NBNMyths asks "How much would you like the NBN to cost?" I'm afraid that pink bats, overpriced schools and solar panels have taught the government nothing about waste and mismanagement.
Why should we pay a hugely excessive price "to give us something most people don't want, don't need and don't want to pay more for?" Abbott said.

If you can't work out the difference, then it is I who give up.
Can you give up though? I assume you are on the NBN Co. payroll. You wouldn't be propagating NBN Myths just out of admiration for Conroy. Would you?

I love the way you shoot down Howard's Heroes everytime good info without the crap thanks.
I don't think anyone would argue that.I do have a lot of admiration for the NBN though.
Gee if that is true then there are 38 employees laying cable. 163k for the keyboard tappers and tongue waggers sounds about right.To date the NBN Co. has 4000 clients and 900 employees of whom 862 work mainly in corporate offices in Sydney and Melbourne.
One of the old mans friends swears by Telstra and their divies. Won't say how much his parcel of shares has declined in value.My opinion only (also only a small share holder, christ knows what major shareholders think, I shudder to think)LOL. They must be spewing.
Second rant for the night.
What is your background in relation to the NBN ?
It's something to which you devote a lot of time.
Of the 4000 households so far connected to the NBN, just 2315 premises have begun using it, at $250,000 per connection. This is well down on NBN Co's earlier projection of 35,000 connections in 2011. http://www.smh.com.au/it-pro/governm...#ixzz1iO7224vV
I don't think anyone would argue that.
