and what you fail to understand, nemesis is... well... EVERYTHING!!!  it doesnt matter who and how credible they are, you reject ANY opinion on ANY topic not 100% in line with your own. And this from a person whose technical expertise doesnt even extend as far as know that wireless operates at the speed of light. I think it woudl be fair to assume that Mr Son is aware of the differences between australia and japan.

whats that old saying expert on everything master of none..something like that...

nem hasnt taken into account the number of people that are being serviced...slightly more in Japan I would think... being no expert on the NBN or Japan for that matter.. the way I read it the NBN is being rolled out a bit at a time.. it isnt going to be one long cable/fibre link all around Australia..is it??.. or is it.. nothing would surprise me with labor...they know better after all said and done..and nobody else is worth listening too.. we found that out with Human climate change didnt we..

I understand as well that gillard has made it a treasonable offence to even discuss how much this blooming thing is going to cost or how many are going to sign up for the exhorbitant cost of doing so...its all secret... Y..I ask YYYYYYYYYYY... we do have rights you know.!.. not many now I grant you.

NBN is good for Gillard, not taxpayers

Michael Stutchbury's article on the issue was also published in The Australian

Labor's $43 billion National Broadband Network may be the most politically rewarding pork barrel of all if it gets Julia Gillard over the line with the country independents.

But, like most politically driven investment, it is unlikely to provide the best return for taxpayers and even telco users. Broadband Minister Stephen Conroy doesn't really contest this point in continuing to dodge the simple question of why Labor refuses to put the infrastructure project through a cost-benefit analysis.

Instead, Conroy points to the study he commissioned from McKinsey and KPMG that found the NBN could be built with the $43bn price tag and be "affordable for all Australians".

"We've got on with the job as we promised at the last election of building the national broadband network," he argued on the Sky News program Australian Agenda.

Except that the McKinsey "implementation study" was required to take the NBN as a given, not consider any less expensive alternatives and not conduct a cost-benefit study as urged by the Productivity Commission and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. And except that the advertised bill has blown out from $4.7bn at the last election to $43bn.

Shortly after the election, country independent Tony Windsor suggested the $43bn figure was "fictitious" and he wanted to see the "real trail" of numbers. But after being briefed, Windsor backed Labor's NBN on the weekend, describing the Coalition's $6bn alternative as "retrograde".

The problem is you think ANYONE'S opinion that isnt 100% the same as yours is wrong. You will find it impossible to find a country whose geography and demographics match our own. That doesnt mean that comparisons and international opinions lose validity. It may not have occured to you, but some people are actually clever enough to take those things into account!


she wont worry about that small point longy... the thing is if its all so bloody perfect and great for everyone why the secrecy?...why go to the GG to get a silencer put on any information regarding the cost of the rollout plus the cost to each household.. does nem realise that each and every Australian is going to be paying for this monster from here to kingdom come..I have read where the fibre rollout is only given 15 years warranty after that guess whos problem it is..maybe thats what gillard doesnt want us to know..

You'd have more credibility if you gave some air play to opposing opinions in that skull of yours. it is JUST POSSIBLE that the truth is neither a labor policy nor a liberal policy but somewhere in between where commercial realities and user demands intersect.

tURNBULL SWALLOWED THE OTHER NIGHT: the Libs have nothing if they keep following this losing battle!

  FMDrunk! Tony knows that he won't get lucky next time and so Joe will go and possibly Julie aswell but it still won't mean a baked bean until they admit that the sonic boom delivered nothing and the 1950s attitude has to go in favor of a positive direction for more than the rich!

I wonder : do newspapers 'spin'?!?

Now if that aint a question I don't know what is!

Man, let us all rally to restore the fear!!!!!! ['cos I just aint getting enough!]

Go free-market bullshit artists and their treasurer-in-waiting, 'COMRADE' Hockey!
