I can’t believe the government intends to spend $35 BILLION dollars on fibre-optic cable around Australia! Surely the money would be better spent on;
a) Helathcare
b) Schools
c)Roads
d) Police and Ambulance
etc etc
Its an amazing waste, particularly seeing it will become outdated within the next decade anyway.
The only people the NBN will help are pornographers and pirates.
When will someone in the Government wake up to this???

I think you might find that the $35 Billion they are spending isn’t just throwing it into a gutter and not much coming back. Rolled out the NBN will increase the level of Healthcare for remote regions. Will probably fight piracy..Schools, Police and the Ambulance service will all benefit from this NBN…and if you actually researched what the NBN is about, you will see that the private sector $ contribute to the roll out and the buy back from the government…and seeing where here on Encore…ithink the NBN will radically change the independent film scene. Not perfect…but better than doing nothing. With regard to porn…they should just build a whole other level of internet for porn, a whole other network, whereby you have to subscribe to view.

Currently the biggest profiteers from internet privacy are the ISPs who charge by the gigabyte. If you are a regular internet user and you need 100gb per month it says something about the type of content you are downloading. i.e. movies/music. Put a tariff on the NBN. Proceeds to flow back into Australian film/television/music industry productions. Similar thing happened in the UK where people paid for TV licences and the proceeds went into BBC productions.
