Whats the point?

There have been several hundred messages in the last few days, praising or slagging off the rival broadband proposals. As far as I can see nothing has been achieved, nobody's pre-conceived notions have been changes, no useful information has been disseminated and the shills from both sides are having a field day mouthing their masters' propaganda.

Come next week we should know whether we will have to wait a few years to see whether Labor comes good with it's promises or whether things will stay the way they were 5 years ago until the copper network rots away and nothing that anybody writes here will have the slightest effect on the result.

So perhaps there are more interesting things to use our pitiful amounts of bandwidth on.

And "when it comes to" money, it's just transferring one's and zero's from one computer to another anyway.

As long as one's and zero's are transferring from one account into another the economy is working. Just think of all money changing hands just from all cable installers alone. And every time it changes hands, there's a tax.

I can see this creating lots of jobs nationally, and somebody has to watch the billy for all those roadside workers. The only problem is, it is Govt, and the Scammers / Rorters will be out in Force.
