If the Govt has $4.7 billion to spare I would have thought improving
mobile phone coverage would be a damn sight more useful than this
emphasis on a PTTH (Porn To The Home) network for people in the bush.

PTTH may be good for entertainment, but a decent mobile phone network
would greatly improve communication for people in regional and remote
areas -- not to mention the city slickers too, now that so many of
them are out on the nation's highways maiming and killing themselves.
