Rural Australia loves the NBN (but might not want towers), the Coalition hates the NBN (but might secretly love it) and NBN Co is going to update some Tasmanian infrastructure — but only if they can find it on inaccurate maps. All this and more in this week’s roundup of NBN news.
The Coalition challenged the true value of the NBN, funds were misused in Tasmania and the physical rollout of the NBN continued in this week’s roundup of NBN news.
The Budget revealed how much it would cost to cancel the NBN rollout, the Coalition cried foul on the numbers and the wireless versus fixed argument flared up in this week’s NBN news.
A quieter week in NBN news, with the coalition claiming cost issues around maintaing copper in a FTTN NBN aren’t issues at all, Conroy talking cloud and rollouts continuing.
