You mean this post? from 15 months ago.
There doesn't seem to be an appropriate (egg on face) smiley in the default collection.
Seems gg that your reporting of Estimates is about as accurate as your initial post in this thread.
(5th-February-2011) I have it on good opinion from one of my Queensland ALP contacts , that the NBN is to be "modified".
This will free up money for the Flood and Cyclone Reconstruction.
The word "scrapped" will not be used.
"Modified" is the buzzword.
One can imagine a Dalek saying it...."Modified, modified, modified"

Once it is up and running the feds will be broke and need to sell it off at any cost.
So the tax payer will be left with the debt plus interest and no control over the service pricing.
Once it is up and running you need to ask yourself what does the taxpayer get in return does someone in Quiple who can down load Lady Gaga create an income other than sell burn copies Cd's to their mates.
At least you will be able to see how an economic hit men works the system online.

Ok I had one last night so please explain the benefits to the taxpayer and how they will get a return on their loot plus interest.
I find that hard to believe. What else do you have to pay in order to get that $15 broadband? And what other services must you bundle? At the very least you must be paying for line rental ($32), taking your monthly total to around $47.
Continuing my assumption then, you're getting a 20/1Mbps service with 100GB of data for $47/month, plus phone calls.
On the NBN from Exetel you can get a 25/5Mbps service with 100GB of data, a VoIP phone (with number) and flat 10c national calls for $50/month. So an extra $3/month gets you 25% faster downloads, 500% faster uploads and 1/2 price phone calls. http://www.exetel.com.au/residential-fibre-pricing-mainland.php
Additionally, almost nobody can get 20Mbps ADSL2+ in Australia. The average is 8Mbps. You must live on top of the exchange to get 20.
Firstly I am on cable, not ADSL, so my speed is not untypical. I have measured it several times at different times and that would be about the average I got. My $15 rate is based on the fact that I have several Telstra services bundled, but I also have an additional discount that was offered to me as a special to retain my custom.
NBN charge users for access to the service. They charge enough to repay the Govt investment, plus the interest. Simple.
Ha ha ha - a Labor government making a profit on one of their enterprises - good one NBNMyths!
You know what they say about people who live in glass houses.....
Do we have any data on take up rates?
One would have thought that everybody in Australia would know a NBN is being built.
But going to Cairns today, (68klms) I heard it 3 times, that one is being built.
A government commercial.
Its a bit like having a big sign on a FISH SHOP, then to have more signs to say "we sell fish and chips here".:headshake

It is a shameful waste of money on a technology that will be redundant in five years time.
Designed on the back of an envelope, on a tax payer paid flight, in business class seats, by two Labor ministers who have never had a proper job in their lives.
It is welfare for nerds.
And nobody in N.Queensland has heard of it, witnessed it's benefits nor used it, except on tax payer funded advertisements.

why not comment on today's GDP numbers? perhaps you can somehow spin it to make the Coalition look good.
