NBN cheaper, but so is the politicking

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Bulletin › Article

Abstract

Today's release of the National Broadband Network (NBN) report suggests that the NBN will cost taxpayers $5 billion less than the initial $43 billion and will be affordable for consumers with or without Telstra's participation.

This is good news for Australia. But the way Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is handling one of the most important events in 21st century nation-building is an absolute disgrace.
