NBN to miss 2014 target for rollout

[nero_bolt]

More Labor FAILURES

It is frightening to think how many billions of dollars we are set to lose from Rudd’s thought-bubble:

Labor’s centrepiece infrastructure project, the national broadband network, will miss its June 2014 rollout ­target by more than a quarter of a ..., as construction delays and problems with subcontractors ­continue.

Leaked internal forecasts seen by The Australian Financial Review indicate NBN Co now expects to have 855,935 existing homes and businesses ready to connect to the fibre network by June 2014. This is 273,065 fewer than the company forecast it would reach in the latest corporate plan, released in August last year.

NBN Co revealed last month it had reached 163,500 homes and businesses with fibre at the end of June 2013. This was 57 per cent fewer than it had forecast in its corporate plan.

Just because you can get good service and have choice does not mean the rest should miss out."

I find it very hard to follow your thought processes FN.

I have never indicated "I'm alright Jack," or even Jill,  but please post a relevant comment from myself that specifies that..

Your line above is indication of the "i'm alright Jack" attitude.

MM don't you get it yet?? the rusted on luvvies love EVERYTHING  THE ALP do no matter how bad it is or how bad it's going to get.

To criticize or even post an informative opinion about their beloved NBN is sacrilege, a mortal sin.

Consider yourself slapped.

FN: "especially as currently I can  watch TV archives/films via my Telstra HFC
 "Your line above is indication of the "i'm alright Jack" attitude."

Now the whole sentence FN, because  quoting out of context is a poor debating tactic:

"FN, Telstra actually owns 50% of Foxtel, so I will cheer  any project which improves their bottom line, I just am not a fan of one (ALP NBN) that is so expensive that  it requires government protection from competition, especially as currently I can  watch TV archives/films via my Telstra HFC.."

Which actually indicates that I am in favour of a NBN, but not a fan of the ALP NBN one  that requires government protection by closing down profitable HFC networks.

LL: " john. goats are off topic"  Not in a political thread LL, also sheep are fitting!

A3: "One sheep and one goat to be accurate. Hideous what ever they are."  "hideous" ??

Actually they are one-eyed  (Myopians/Cyclopians) who represent 80% of mindset and compliant electorate flocks, and whilst being predictable, can bleat loudly.

I have attempted not to hurt any feelings,  by representing either  sheep or goats as being of particular  political persuasion.

Actually it is a pic of one sheep and one goat, alerted by adding colours to various parts.

Animals with painted tongues & wool in red and blue look hideous to me.

Keep rolling on, Labor's NBN.

Hideous MM Hideous, are they from outer space? OMG

[cherry*135]

alerted  altered by adding colours to various parts. Sheep & goats have what relevance to a National Broadband Network?

[lightningdance]

Oh dear, the hole just keeps getting deeper & deeper

[monman12]

"Animals with painted tongues & wool in red and blue look hideous to me."

That is a little hard on what is supposed to be  a representation of red/blue  ALP/Lib voters/debaters A3, and relevant because this is now a  political thread.

 One very important thing the NBN saga has revealed is Malcolm Turnbulls complete dishonesty and lack of integrity. fancy selling out to the dominant right faction like that.
