The only company that can deliver FTTH (Fibre to the Home) is Optus only
if bloody Telstra backed protesters didn't get in the way in the late
1990's it could of been done already in the captial cities at least.

Both companies provide FTTH or FTTN in most parts of Melbourne and Sydney
already. Then they realised the take up rate for overpriced cable TV was
less than expected and both companies stopped their roll outs.
Without privatisation and duplication, we could have had one fibre to twice
as many homes instead, and over 99% mobile coverage by now, for no extra
cost.
Too bad for much of Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart, not to mention
most country towns of course.

Nope, not in the sense that Telstra is proposing FTTN.

Wrong again. Optarse lost the content war to foxtel and THAT was the reason the rollout stopped.
Telstra only did it because Optarse did it.
> Without privatisation and duplication, we could have had one fibre to twice as many homes instead,
Wrong. We wouldnt have seen any FTT* without it.
> and over 99% mobile coverage by now, for no extra cost.
Pure fantasy.
> Too bad for much of Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart, not to mention most country towns of course.
They wouldnt have got it without the telsta monopoly being ripped away.

You can blame John Howard the fucken coward for standing up to Telstra's
bullying tactics to stymie competition and the toothless ACCC for not
doing anything.

I assume you mean NOT "standing up to Telstra's bullying tactics". It
remains to be seen what the Labor party will actually do. Their options have
been severely hampered by LJH's sell off, and importation of foreign
managers with no interest in the public good.
But the Labor party is just as guilty of selling off our infrastructure to
private interests, then ploughing in more public money to prop them up.

Nope. OP was correct, they both stopped because of money and the fact that
it was costing too much

Nope. Telstra only ever did cable because Optarse did. Optarse only ever did
their cable rollout because they wanted to get the jump on Telstra with something
more than Telstra could offer and when they lost the content war to foxtel, they
realised that they were never going to make enough money out of cable to
make the extras economically viable, so they stopped their cable rollout.
You've never had a clue about the basics. Thats why you only ever get to clean the dunnys.
