The NBN would already be seeing an increase in GDP (it could do with it, 2.5% is riculously low) employment and exports.
How will the NBN increase exports?
Because creative industries will be able to accept jobs then send the file off to the client without having to wait a week for the video of an ad or other content. Now we have people moving their business to NZ or other areas where the govt doesn’t handicap its economy!
We could also be selling other services, education say IF we could upload big data files quickly. ADSL, VDSL just do not cut the mustard!
There are companies, in the Murrumbidgie IA and other rural areas where even big producers cannot properly track their shipments past farm or factory gate. With a proper communications network they could track the shipments and look for more lucrative markets.
In the main NBN thread, back a ways, I posted extracts of Hansard of the Estimates Committee on the NBN. There was lots of testimony supporting all I have said. Rural areas, rural councils were among the most gung ho for the NBN! Hell, Barnaby and Nash, back when Howard was PM, designed something very similar to the NBN.
So the man on the land is one of the groups most let down by the bloody Libs and Nats!
The copper is clapped out and cannot help our
The average ADSL speed is 12Mbps. The max NBD is 100Mbs - a mere 8 times the speed. if a file is taking a week then it would still take a day. The trouble is that your claim is rubbish. If anyone had need for such speed they would already have fibre as you can actually pay for it and get it now and have for a long time. Do you think the banks run on adsl??
You really are the village VERY Nice Person of this board aren’t you?
ATM the max speed is 1Gbps.
The things I mentioned that would benefit the economy depend on UPLOAD speed. 40mbps for the 100:40 speed band, 400mbps for the 1Gbps speed band.
At 40mbps a file that takes 8 hours to upload would take 12 minutes. We absolutely need FTTH.
Not mentioning the much greater reliability of fibre, its lower maintenance cost and it MUCH lower power requirements.
The industries I mentioned are not banks.
Buy the way, Village Nice Person, due to Netflix and the streaming video it sells my ADSL2 has dropped from 20 to under 7mbps. So we absolutely do NEED the NBN, copper just cannot handle normal present needs.
Now, a bank head office in a CBD undoubtedly has FTTH to it. How about its branches in the suburbs and regions?
Both you and Green_splits are pathetic in your defence of the sellouts that are your Party of choice.
