well i guess we can allow the delusional to continue, but it remains there is only one national network, and irrespective rudd wants an exclusive government owned network ,so guess who will be paying who ,the nbn will even have telstra as a customer but i guess the big picture of bandwidth on optic fibre escapes some here,but remember who will control it on every street in australia ,thats what it is all about ,rudd is primarily an administrator and this little nbn move has little to do with flooding the people with service and a lot to do with extracting money from telcos and ultimately consumers you see the consumer always pays optic fibre will deliver high quality volume and service but it will cost money to operate and i would suggest significantly more for the consumer than the current network and who will collect the fees,you just dont get it it is all about fees,rudd has had to many lunches with macbank ppl
