I dare anyone, Lib or otherwise, to tell me they don't want this. I dare anyone, Lib or otherwise, to say this isn't worth it for our Country.

Roll on, NBN.

Hear Hear!

I've been asking on every science website I can if they think it's the best investment this country has ever made...

Not too many argue vociferously against the notion of it being so after the obligatory "...what about hospitals and universities and such!!!!????!!!"

Abbott is looking for momentum and if his policy releases that are coming by the end of next week(as revealed by Joe Hockey on Q and A tonight) don't cut the mustard well well well ...............

It's the 21st century: he who builds China for flips sake expects such a minimum of recompense!!!! THEY ARE NON RENEWABLE RESOURCES LET US NEVER FORGET!!!!!

Lets see you say that when your internet dies and you're on the phone with Telstra trying to convince them the problem isn't yours.

Couple of misconceptions there.

First, the NBN isn't funded from tax, it's funded from the issue of Government infrastructure bonds at the going interest rate (currently about 5%). The bonds are then repaid by the revenue from the network, which (once it's complete) will be about $6bn per year. The forecast return is 7%, therefore the interest is also covered. This is essentially the same way all utility networks were constructed by Govt (phone/water/power).

Therefore, those who use the NBN will be "paying for it themselves". What's more, those high-end and business users who want and choose faster than average plans will also be subsidising those on standard plans and therefore actually paying a little more than "their share". The average revenue per user (ARPU) required is about $33, while the wholesale prices are 12/1 $24, 25/5 $27, 25/10 $30, 50/20 $34, 100/40 $38, 250/100 $70, 500/200 $100 and 1000/400 $150.

Note that iiNet's pricing was released last week, and is generally considerably cheaper than ADSL2+. In outer-metro and regional areas (or Telstra metro), it is generally less than half the price of current ADSL for ~double the speed and data allowances. About the only exception to the better prices comes in TPG on-net ADSL areas, where the TPG plans are still cheaper per GB of download although also considerably slower.

Wireless tech is getting better, but it cannot provide the same speeds as fibre to as many people consistently. Pricing of wireless for the data amounts is still too high as well.
