Those of you living in Australia will know about the argument about the NBN. Many people around the nation say that they DO NOT want the NBN to be rolled out to every home across Oz.
Julia Gillard has said that the NBN will cost 45 billon! My argument (As well as many others i have spoken to) is that there are so many better things that this extreme amount of money can be used for: fixing our hospitals, schools, housing.... the list goes on. And a lot of people think this because most homes in Oz have broadband ADSL2 which is the fastest broadband you can have right now. The NBN propose that the new broadband will be many times faster. So that sounds like an advantage. But i use wireless internet and it is very fast. I couldn't want it to be faster. But thats not the only point.
People who DO NOT have a computer, will have to spend thier own money on expensive new telephones and equipment to use with the NBN because the older phones will not be compatible. Is the governments going to reimburse people for the extra cost? I think they should, seeing as the population of Oz do not have a choice as to weather they recieve the NBN or not.
What a great government we have (Insert sarcastic face here)
