"what the dinosaurs do not understand is that 'the people' will take underperforming wireless over the fixed broadband for the benefits of wireless. fixed only has a fraction of the business and lifestyle attractions of wireless"
That's exactly right. It's vhs vs beta. The technology will rise to meet the consumer need not the other way round.
Also I bet after the next election Conroy will do an Ahbib and wind up on a 7 figure salary at NBN co.
But in 10 years it will all be wireless and the Gillard govt will be a swearword.
