Minority groups and crackpots are the only ones that have rights or a voice in this society in case you havent noticed.

I never said it was related and you should be able to get a suitable speed internet, and so should everyone. My comments were about your view of non-city people. If you take domestic and export production, the "minority that live in the middle of nowhere" that you so willingly put down contribute far more to GDP and export income than major city people ever could. The wealth of the whole country that gives you the luxury to have your high speed internet is dependent on a healthy economy. The ability for business's to operate effectively with all forms of communication doesn't just stop at the edge of the capital cities. Those mines/farms/country towns/people further out happen to also improve their operation by getting an effective communications system at reasonable cost.

You remind me of a child on first finding out that honey isn't just something that magically appears on a Coles/Woolworths shelf, it actually comes from the work of people/animals that you put down as being a "minority group". You need a similar waking up experience, or maybe you just need to grow up.

Most farm produce in Australia is exported anyway.

Well, all you have to do is look at the collective contents of our parliaments to tell you want the majority do. Baah, baaah, baah.....

Do you really think this is going to happen?

It's all just spin - to cover their piss poor ability to meet their election promises regarding the internet.

Hey, with a snappy come back like that, you could launch a new career as a farm consultants. Heck, the farmers would at least get a good laugh out of you.

YOU made that stupid pig ignorant claim.

YOU get to substantiate that stupid pig ignorant claim.

THATS how it works.

LMAO !!!

Those who need to know, know that it is true. Others, shrug, their problem.

Nothing there contradicts my figures. You're just looking at a subset.

I think it will happen but it won't be overnight. Projects like these take years. Probably ten years until near completion.

There is a lot of spin but it's more to do with putting pressure on Telstra to stop obfuscating and start cooperating. The Government and Telstra are in negotiations about price of Telstra assets.

It remains to be seen if it will even make it thru the senate.

Yes, but it remains to be seen if that 'pressure' makes it thru the senate.

But its very unlikely that Telstra is prepared to accept what the govt is prepared to pay for those assets, particularly if the 'pressure' doesnt make it thru the senate.

Yeah, I'd call it more like $10-$20/mbps/month.
