NBN rollout and delays: March 2012 and election 2013 | Crikey

NBN rollout and delays: March 2012 and election 2013 | Crikey: "
Once the $11 billion-plus deal between NBN Co, Telstra and the federal government was cleared by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission last month, the path was clear for the acceleration of the national broadband network that NBN Co’s Mike Quigley unveiled this week. It doesn’t necessarily mean, however, that the rollout will actually be completed.

While NBN Co and the Gillard government will be anxious to get as much of the network in place and as many homes and business connected ahead of next year’s federal election, the numbers provided yesterday suggest that the opposition’s plan to halt the rollout and create a different kind of NBN using a mix of different and lower-cost (and lower-speed) technologies remains viable."
