NBN: will we reap back the cost?
The NBN will not be rolled out for ten years, so will the technology be out of date by then. Tim Webster poses questions worth thinking about as we prepare to spend $36 billion. Will we ever re-coup the costs to taxpayers.

Australia is very stupid, we are going to be very sorry. My current internet service is already excellent! My big family & many friends are very happy with things now! Why is this lying idiot Gillard wasting all of our money. Gillard is borrowing one $Billion dollars a week from CHINA and squandering the majority on silly failed schemes!!!
Don't get me started on the many $Billions Gillard has already thrown-away by closing-down Nauru!!! Letting in all the riff-raff!PRATIBHA PATEL Monday 8 August, 2011 - 11:41 AM -
1. Since its invention 20+ years ago, fibre has been the fastest delivery method. If you with to go fast and far fibre is, and always has been, the best choice.
2. Tech races ahead, and tech using fibre is amonst that. See recent speed breakthrough of 26Tb using fibre.
3. DIDO is interesting in theory, but absolutly requires 2+ overlapping wireless towers to work, and huge processing and timing challenges. Just one tower and there is no gain at all.
4. What do the wireless towers use to communicate all that data to the core internet: why fibre, of course (see 1)So given the choice I'll have what the towers use (fibre) instead of just a part of it.

Tim, great commentary on the NBN. Thank God there're still some journalists with real class and integrity. To you and your colleagues at 2UE, a big thank you.
