Was the reason to try and find the most challenging installations and do them first? Availability of local contractors to do the actual work of digging holes, stringing fiber and connecting it the the equipment? I'm honestly curious because after seeing my suburb wasn't on any list for the first few years I didn't look too much further. My ADSL connects at 18Mb so I'm not complaining in any case!
- jacques_chester 13y agoI'm not sure that NBN ever published actual reports on rollout selection. They just said it was for legitimate engineering reasons. The frequent correspondence between priority rollouts and marginal seats is just a coincidence. Perhaps there's a reason why it's better to have a weird patchwork of rollouts, rather than progressing geometrically or geographically or according to the network topology or whatever. I am genuinely prepared to hear it.
- ajtaylor 13y agoIf there were a correspondence between the two, it wouldn't surprise me. But you'd think that even if the selection process was political you'd dole out some juicy areas too. Maybe I'm asking too much of a politician...
