Yes, FTTP is quite a bit faster than the current broadband, but it
makes absolutely no sense to be spending anything like $50B just so
people can download DVDs much quicker.
I agree, lets go back to gravel road as they are cheaper to maintain.
Would be funny IF they weren't proposing to lay fibre cables along side
gravel roads!!!!

The same can be said for a great many government projects, at least the
NBN has utility that will extend for decades to come.
Nope, it will probably be outdated long before then. People already want
high speed *wireless* services, NOT be fixed to a cable.

You'll get no argument from me that there are areas where the money
could be better spent. The thought of (eventually) being able to rip
down those ridiculous Fotel and Optus cables is a wonderful thing.
[ASIDE] One of the funniest things I saw a few years back, was the
results of a truck almost passing under an Optus cable, strung across
the road. The damage to the house and cable was amazing.
Bloody stupid things. Should never have been allowed to be strung
overhead. Fibre will allow them to be dispensed with.
But no plan to upgrade those gravel roads! Nor any plan for a High speedI agree, lets go back to gravel road as they are cheaper to maintain.

proposed. I'm still puzzled why broadband is considered more important
than housing, food, electricity, water, public transport and roads?
