Oh, what's this? I think it was the sound of Tony Abbott on Jon Faine's program back in February last year lambasting Labor for treating the NBN like an infrastructure project instead of a broadband project.
Between this and ensuring that the maximum guarantee they'll have on upload speeds will be all of 1 Mbps I can assure you that the coalition's idea of an NBN is much more geared towards a video delivery mechanism for FOXTEL than anything else.
Apparently Microsoft upped their storage plans to 1 TB for a pretty cheap price, but forget about using even a fraction of that capacity here in Australia. What matters is that Murdoch gets a free extension of his HFC network and FOXTEL can use the spectrum on that liberally for free forever. And then they'll just call all the lines, regardless of technology, "Fixed line" (oh waitaminute, they already have) and just tread it all the same way to make sure FOXTEL will and Telstra will always have a leg up.
Those FTTN nodes? Those tens of thousands. Only Telstra's hands will be on those, and the coalition has put enough Telstra share holders on NBN Co's board to ensure that'll forever remain the case.
This isn't about agreeing or disagreeing. The coalition's policies are so pants on head stupid ass-backwards that there's hardly a word that could be said that isn't immediately pointing out its idiocies.
If people can't even put together ten words about the coalition's "NBN" policies without sounding stupid, then that's not a surprise.
And, if you haven't noticed, the coalition has already abandoned the pretense that it's going to be a national network.
So, it's not agreeing or disagreeing, nor is it slander. It's an object fact that it's not a country-wide Internet project any longer.
By all means, try me. If you have anything to say about the coalition's "NBN" policies I'll be happy to dismantle anything that's been presented to you as an actual thing but is really just a ridiculous pretense.
tl;dr: The coalition ain't interested in country-wide Internet. They're interested in delivering a "video entertainment system" because that's synergetic to Murdoch's interests and because it smells similar to the average drooling FOXTEL-subscribing moron in an election period to an actual broadband network that they've kept up the appearance of building. But when you get down to it, to the physical layer it's 1 Mbps for guaranteed coalition upload speeds vs. 1244 Mbps for Labor with fairly tiny contention to make it a little worse than that. All for about the same amount of money in peak funding and you don't want to know how much worse the coalition's is beyond that.
