Telstra couldn't give a fuck about broadband (cares about growing its
fraudband market though), but others do, and they're at least trying to
do something about it.
Interesting, but the a country the size of Australia with a sparse
population we need a single network. I don't give a shit who runs it or
how but multiple networks will only serve major population centres and
won't give a fuck about every Australian.

A single network sounds nice in principle. But what it needs is EQUAL access
for all who wish to use it. Hellstra's spin is that they are/will_be forced to
"share" their enhanced network at unaffordable/unsustainable rates.
The solution - and it's too late now that the feds have disposed of their
majority holding - was to have Hellstra retail as just another reseller with the
same standing/access as other resellers, and the single ubiquitous network
controlled by a separate entity (eg Hellstra wholesale) who would be responsible
for maintenance/expansion ONLY i.e. no retailing. Too late for that now.

No we dont. No reason why the low density areas have
to be covered using the same network as the high density
areas and that would be a criminal waste of money.

Mindless stuff. No reason why the low density areas cant use
a different network technology that suits that best at a much
lower cost than attempting something completely unaffordable
like fibre to the node or house in those areas.

And it wouldnt work any, that provides no consumer signal to the operator
of the network, so there is no incentive to give a damn what the consumer wants.

Please preface your rantings with [IMO] rather than present them as fact.
Nobody in this country is forced to use Telstra. Don't like them? Hit the
road, Jack.

$3.6bn? Spent on bringing people who already have broadband access, another
choice? What a dreadful waste of national wealth.
I thought the Broadband Connect money was for extending broadband to those
who don't have it at all.
This is shit news for the bush. Spend the money on EXTENDING the network,
not duplicating it.

In threads on these forums, recently even Roddles Speed and Anthony Whore-An
admitted that alternatives can be found to Telstra.. ergo Telstra is not a
monopoly.

Really?
No choice for landline?
No choice for broadband?
No satellite coverage?
