On Senator Conroy’s watch, secrecy ruled the NBN, Australia’s largest infrastructure boondoggle. Almost $7 billion in public funds have been ploughed into the NBN to complete a mere 3 per cent of the rollout, while the signature “Gigabit Nation” service does not have a single end-user customer. Then there’s the $350 million satellite
There was $5B spent on the NBN pre election and the first stages of the roll out consisted of planning and building the back bones of the network to support the connection of premises. Do you perhaps expect that they lay fibre to premises without first building the basis of the network to connect those premises to?
Does the gigabit nation comment refer to people who have signed up for a gigabit service already?
What's the $350 million satellite you mention? Is it the interim satellite service that has already reached capacity, even though Turnbull claimed it was overkill at the time and not neede? Or is it the new satellites which are on order being constructed now and due for launch next year?
