NBN take up = 16%

[IQSRLOW]

Mr Quigley said NBN Co’s three-year business case — which was to be delivered to the government by May 31

Another Labor govt initiative unable to deliver even a plan.

What a waste

Yes Labor have already shown how they can't deliver simple school buildings or even install pink batts on budget. Just imagine what this nightmare will bring.

Monk has been wrong about every Labor initiative. This one is no different

hahahahahahaha

It is an idea whose time has come! We won't even be the first to do it! The UK is copying us! Google is setting up a FTTH network (for about 500K customers.) I can't believe you are still opposing the idea (I guess that is what those posts were doing) it is not new or radical and is the only way to get a decent network in place after Howard & Costello fucked up the Telstra privatisation. I know it, you know it.

Labor isn't the one to do it- they can't even run a pink batts installation program

"The Internet, as vital infrastructure, has become central to the daily economic life of almost every American by creating unprecedented opportunities for small businesses and individual entrepreneurs," the president wrote in a memorandum. "We are now beginning the next transformation in information technology: the wireless broadband revolution."

More and more money will be poured into developing wireless networks and applications that "cable" will be a distant memory.

Already Telstra has tested the LTE network at speeds the NBN is promising (max 100Mbs- but only 25Mbs for the plebs which you can almost get already through ADSL2+) Telstra already offer HFC which no one wants.

Just another Labor fuckup in a long line of fuckups

Here is one new technology that will ensure the NBN is taken up very very quickly by pretty much everybody: TV over IP.

Watching TV via the web, able to program and record a nights viewing across different channels, able to pause, able to interact etc etc. But it needs high bandwidth, full screen, high definition color video needs massive amounts of data, just made for the NBN which will be running at 1Gbps by the time it is rolled out. So not only can you save on your combined phone/internet bill you can now dispense with cable TV! Anyone can set up a TV station, just need NBN access!

More lies from Monk

You really don't have a clue, do you

[IQSRLOW]

NBN takeup alot less than that liar Cuntroy and Monk claim. What a waste of fucking money

Malone added that initial Tasmanian take-up of the first NBN services had been very sluggish. “A total of 70 customers have been signed up in Tasmania under the three brands – so that’s not 70 each but a total of 70 between iiNet, Internode and Primus,” he said. “Demand from our point of view is zero.”

“We’re not getting people calling us up to sign up. We’ve got the customers that we have on there by calling them. We’re identifying customers that are on our footprint, looking at those who’ll be better off with NBN products, so where they are going to get a higher speed at the same or more quota for the same price… we haven’t had any cases of people calling us up saying ‘I need to move across now; what do I have to do?’ It’s actually been driven by us.”

Looks like Telstra thinks the NBN is its salvation—since they have neglected the copper network since day 1 they are probably right:

Ballantyne is now refining his strategies for the "must-win battles" of the next three years -- to clean up the poor track record in customer service, lift market share and prepare for the NBN, a project which, contrary to the belief of Telstra's rivals, could provide new opportunities for Telstra.

"With any structural change that occurs in the marketplace comes challenge and opportunity", and the NBN offers "more opportunity than there is challenge", says Ballantyne. "When you're in a fight you don't want one hand tied behind your back and the NBN gives us the opportunity to have that other arm out in a level competitive playing field."
