1. Multiple service providers ----Each service provider cherry picks the profitable areas only.
Easily solved by providing incentives and subsidies to business to develop in those areas. That is, only subsidise the areas that need it. Funnily enough these are usually the least populated areas, so you are not having to subsidise usage for most of the population. Of course the government have tried this but they are so inept in delivering an idea, they felt it necessary to just go and spend whatever it takes to solve an issue.
2. Multiple service providers lay cables over the top of each other thus tripling or quadrupling the costs just so as you can have choice of provider.
If a private enterprise decides that this is warranted how does that affect the end user's cost? As we have seen historcially, it doesn't. Need to get your head around the 'cable' idea as the only alternative for users in the future.
The NBN is the national highway that carries trucks and replaces the dirt tracks that carry horse/carts.
Nothing wrong with national highways but it's more akin to turning every walking track that came off the dirt track into a national highway. Totally unnecessary and at immense cost to taxpayers for a very long time.
