Imagine if it was the Coalition who suggested the NBN.

Then imagine the posts on here by their supporters.

"great foresight", "high technological knowledge", "future expansion", "great for the economy", "sheer brilliance from the Coalition as usual!", "copper is such a laborite technology - outdated"

It would have been nice to not see headlines like "NBN massive cost blowouts and rorting rife."

Oh sorry, thats next Julys headlines.

if you lack the ability to tell the difference between a non-commerical infrastruture project( eg a road) and a commercial projetc like a NBN Corp then the problem is one of your own making.

A telecommunications network is not infrastructure?

Just for long this is the definition of Infrastructure and it pretty much sums up why we need it as well ..
Quote:

Infrastructure is the basic physical and organizational structures needed for the operation of a society or enterprise, or the services and facilities necessary for an economy to function. The term typically refers to the technical structures that support a society, such as roads, water supply, sewers, power grids, telecommunications, and so forth.

exactly what do you think a COMMERCIAL operation is??? do you think the commonwealth bank and telstra mysterisouly only become commercial operations when they were privatised??? A commercial operation is one that operates along COMMERCIAL principles. in fact the ASIC listing you copied proves it is infact a commercial operation.

Longy, when you are wrong, you are wrong, and no amount of prevarication will change that, so just a polite, "oops", or a more complete, "I admit that I was totally wrong, of course a telecommunications network would be considered as infrastructure', would be sufficient to signal your acceptance of your error.

Just watching an internet connected TV. (from corporate location with a fast connection)

The internet connection can not cope with the lowest rate stream of 1Mbs. Keeps stopping to catch up.

Faster internet will fix this one.

You can now buy TV's which the current internet speeds will not cater.
