'Entire NBN Co board quits'

It gets better everyday ๐Ÿ™‚

 

THE entire NBN Co board has reportedly submitted their resignations to Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

The resignations have yet to be accepted by the minister, Fairfax Media reports, and a decision is to be made at a cabinet meeting in early October.

Mr Turnbull hinted in July, after NBN Co chief executive Mike Quigley quit, that he may sack board members from the organisation responsible for the national broadband network.

The coalition has blamed the board and executive team for massive cost blowouts, timetable delays and for contractors losing money.

Mr Turnbull said after the election that former Telstra boss Ziggy Switkowski would be well qualified for the role of NBN Co chairman.

The coalition's vastly different plan for the network would switch from the previous Labor government's fibre-to-the-home scheme to a cheaper fibre-to-the-node option.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

having no competition  and banning competition are not in the same class.

Not only banning competition but dismantling competition that is in existance.


Not allowing anyone except the government owned company to have a licence is not allowing competition.

Competition was opened in the telecommunications market in the 1990s.

Quick everyone take a copy of the "plan" ant then you can compare it to the new one that will replace it in just over 2 months ๐Ÿ™‚

What sort of person celebrates the destruction of an infrastructure project that is envied around the world?

 

What is it you are celebrating about?

 

That would be an immature clown who doesn't give a toss about those in areas with smaller populations than the cherry pickers would bother with.  Nice.


The same person who posts dumb pictures and a signature that tries to make them sound witty.
