Lexi,

Just about anything else would be better. For example the new NBN is shutting down all other competition, from installed cables to agreements with telstra not to implement wireless, and ripping up the old copper network.

AH,what we have here is a failure to under stand.
Or can it be a Terminological Inexactitude,Winston Churchill used the word to describe a combative parliamentarian opponent.
The basics, NBN had to be based on a one owner MANY COMPETITORS platform.
Telstra once owned EVERY line.
To free up make more competitive the market = cut prices both forms of government set inaction moves the NBN continues.
GREAT profits have been made by Telstra in this deal [yesterday], we now have a national system that in its very core MUST COVER EVERY ONE!
Must give a service to customers in far out back and inner city's.
Build maintain infrastructure based on service not profits.
THOSE USING THE SYSTEM are service providers, they will be charged the very same rates to use the service.
LEVEL PLAYING FIELD a business mans dream knowing what you opponent is paying.
And watch this space costs will come down speeds and services go up as COMPETITION drives price differences to? you and me.
Brilliant achievement the great shame is troglodytes and others are painting it black history will do better.
The most impressive achievement since the Snowy River Scheme.
Go you good thing ALP!

Belly,

So a sole monopoly, ripping up existing copper networks and paying others not to use existing cable networks and blocking future wireless networks is your idea of competition?

I can see the first thing the coalition will do is remove the NBN's sole licence for service provision. If it is competitive, it will survive, otherwise not.

Why don't you guys give it a break and simply email each other without using the forum to waste everyone else's time?

Thankyou & there is nothing better than exchanging posts with someone with a quick wit. I come in here after the day to relax.
Something witty like your post above makes my day. I go to bed happy instead of all worked up. Humor is better than a Dr
