Actually the implementation plan assumed 93% takeup of fibre in ADSL
zones. The business plan assumed a more conservative 70% takeup.
No matter, Tasmania (which has had NBN since the ALP monkeys started
destroying our treasury) has takeup of less than 20%, which is less than
one third of plan. IOW, the Capex invested per customer has blown out by
over 200%!
The immediately discounts the 'value' of the NBN by 2/3. Not that the
*lying* ALP ever intended to float it anyway.
"In Tasmania, for instance, the NBN added only 100 customers during the
past year and take-up rate is still only 18 per cent"

100 customers in a year!!!
Multiple choice:
WHY HAVE CONROY AND GILLARD STOPPED TALKING ABOUT PRIVATISATION?
1. They won't be able to sell a white elephant
2. It won't be finished in anyone's lifetime
3. The sale price relative to the 'investment' will be embarassing
4. They are ultra-left and their aim is to nationalise telecoms
5. All of the above
