how fast is the nbn?, page-43

$100b eh makattack - pull that number out of your backside - any proof? - of course not, just drama queen makeups

You can't have proof of what is going to happen in the future. But mark my words, Labor's business plan success is based on a ridiculously high participation rate and assumption that they will be able to sell NBN back to private enterprise (monopoly anyone) in the future. Add in interest payments as part of the real cost, take into account that they will not be able to sell this back to pribate enterprise without substantial incentives, and $100bill might end up looking like chicken feed.

You might be gullible enough to feed off this rubbish that Labor is dishing out fatsoh, but I am in the industry and talk to many people who know what the most likely outcome will be. Problem is, with such a massively large spend, many in the industry will support this NBN spend all the way to the bank, as it's wasted money going into their pockets as providers of services based on the NBN rollout.

By the way I am not a fan of the Coalition's solution either, it's a case of the lesser evil as far as I'm concerned. Private enterprise should be front and center in this infrastructure build.
