My understanding is there were 3 big failings in this for Australia.
1) Selling Telstra. The whole issue never would have happened if the govt still owned. Thanks Mr Howard
2) Forcing local Labor requirement in the tender. This was Labor union movement trying to spread money with the roll-out but made Testra drop out as until this they were always guaranteed to win. Thanks Mr Rudd
3) The 'we dont need fibre well use mixed technology'. That's were it truly became a waste of money and potential. Thanks Abbott & Turnbull.
Such a failure for Australia. And as someone now using Starlink, so glad Musk came along and saved us bad internet people.
- jaimex2 4y agoThe cruel irony will come when Telstra buy NBN when it goes up for sale using the money it received for the copper network. And then we'll do it all over again in the 2030s.
