Anyone who thinks NBN is bad, and I accept that the Rudd stuff up probably is, should try what I am stuck with: Opticomm. Internet and TV outages are regular events.

Since Australia took to educating public servants instead of tradespeople and technology workers, we have been going South.

Changed our aerial and magic does happen.....!!

We need the internet.
Wherever, however, we still need it.
When people are spread out over a large land mass, rapid communication draws them together.
Their collective productivity will be made easier and more effective.
Stupid decisions were made during the build of our internet service, but we have nearly got there.
The end is in sight.
There are always those who delight in pointing out the downsides and drawbacks in any endeavour.
They earn a living doing it.
In this case their 'attack' appears to centre mainly around the cost.
But whilst doing this, they are busily using to their advantage the very communication they appear to deride.
Take comprehensive communication out of life and we will be back to rubbing two sticks together.
