nbn takeup failure

[Neferti]

Great fucking news on the NBN!

iinet have released their permanent prices (not the trial prices:)

iiNet all wired up for broadband

With the likes of IQ downloading huge volumes of hi-def bestiality porn the NBN will make good profits. Add in video over the net (TVIP, video phone calls etc) and it will be huge.

I thought that was your penchant, Monk. Why would you want hi-def huge Gigs anything unless you want to view porn, daily? You wanker.

Was talking generally. Notice that guy who had his movie projector linked to the NBN?

No. Was the guy worth a look? Like 'em young do you? Geeze.

I have no need for more Gigs or a faster connection. I can download what I want now, movies, etc. Nice to know that iiNet won't make me pay more than I pay now for the same service.

Do you have a movie projector you want to link to the NBN? Are you jealous that a cute guy has one and you don't?

So many questions, so many lies.

Get a grip.

NBN bandwidth is not currently required and probably not required for many years to come to utilise the internet.

I have had this argument with the Monk before.

It is a waste of money at this time in the technology lifecycle.

It will be old and redundant in no time costing users a fortune compared to other ecconomies. Nice idea, wrong time, too much manet, no major benefit, poor business case.

I use my 3G donggle fo rthe internet, great for skype and movies. NBN is overkill.

Yup, SN is a moron.

In 10 years time, when websites are even richer SN will be screaming why his web pages took forever to download. NBN will ensure that by the time his pathetic wireless doesn't cut it he has a modern alternative. (OK I know you don't live in Oz.)

Many people have a use for 100mbit: a family with 3 kids, 4 PCs and a game console just couldn't all access the net at any decent speed at the same time.

The IMF has predicted a global depression and and as they have control of the direction the world's economy takes - no doubt it will happen in the near future.

We can't afford the NBN and especially in the gloomy forecast regarding our economy. Not only as it never been costed properly - it's economic viability is already proving to be a huge burden which will be carried for generations. The expert opinions have been ignored.

It's fine for you to talk about all the positive aspects of it Monk - but in a decade, your opinion and similar will be worth zilch and our kids will have to pay for this white elephant. They'll be too busy working 7 days a week to survive and won't have time to take advantage of the so called "benefits".

The fund says Australia will grow at only 1.8 per cent this year, down from its previously forecast 3 per cent. The figure is way below the May budget forecast and only half the most recent Reserve Bank forecast, suggesting it will be harder than expected to reach the promised budget surplus in 2012-13. For 2012 the fund forecasts 3.3 per cent, down from 3.5 per cent.

Wow, you get everything wrong there, Mantra.

If the economy is going to dive then we need public works like the NBN. The economy will dive because neolib/neocon austerity measures which only act to increase budget deficits. IMF has a role in this but not that big.

The NBN has been costed properly and it will be a raging success. Weedy little guys will be watching dogs fucking women in high definition video. TV over IP is another huge driver of enormous profits for the NBN. Another is video phone calls, you can talk to someone and see proper video, lip movements synchronised with sound etc etc.

Then, as boomers age the NBN will allow those with medical problems or increasing frailty to stay at home much longer, saving huge amounts of money on hospital and nursing home beds.

The cost of the NBN is trivial, 0.8% of the budget for 10 years, not all funded by taxpayers.

You should try doing some reading, Mantra!

Bullshit Monk.

A waste of money is a waste of money no matter what stage in the economic cycle we are in.

[Jovial Monk]

No. Just about every country is running out fibre. It is an investment in the future. It will be needed within ten years, so we have to build it now so it is available then.

And with unemployment tipped to rise we need projects to create work.

Don't any of you idiots have any understanding of economics? Would you want to go back to dial up? Dial up was enough in the days of dialup, but these days we have sound and video on websites, recently I watched a meeting of the UK House of Commons. That cannot be done on dialup. So DSL was developed. Still running over the copper phone lines but more bandwidth could be squeezed in.

Now we have YouTubes with medium and hidef video and DSL is running out of puff.

Downloads grow exponentially, fibre will be increasingly taking over from DSL.
