Welcome to the brave new world of Malcolm Turnbulls Fraudband.

Welcome to the brave new world of Malcolm Turnbulls Fraudband.
A Fraudband that will be "sooner, cheaper and more afford ably".
Well read this

Quote:
"High-rise owners corporations are concerned about being locked out of the NBN due an aggressive fibre installation campaign by a TPG-owned company.
PIPE Networks (a TPG subsidiary) has told owners corporations (OC) in Docklands and in other high-density areas across Australia that it will be installing fibre facilities in their buildings.
Dock 5 OC committee member Tom Burt fears residents will miss out on the NBN roll out if PIPE Networks installs FTTB in the building first.
This view is backed up by Strata Title Lawyers’ Tom Bacon, who said Pipe Networks would enjoy a commercial advantage if is was first to install its infrastructure within buildings.
“A suburb, such as Docklands, which is home to a number of large residential towers, is an attractive target for telecommunications suppliers, and if most or all units in the building are forced to switch to one particular carrier for their internet and phone-line services, then the carrier stands to gain an increased market share and a substantial increase in revenue,” Mr Bacon said.
Mr Bacon said the installation of TPG infrastructure wouldn’t stop NBN or other telecommunications providers from installing similar infrastructure, but said the presence of two types of DSLAM systems could cause system interference and performance degradation."

One of the beauties of Labors NBN was that NBN Co. would install and own the fibre infrastructure and private enterprise ISPs would supply the service to the customers. This would create great competition between ISPs. The ISPs are using and dealing with only one wholesaler for tremendous ubiquity and conformity. Under Labor, TPG could not be a wholesaler and retailer, but with Fraudband this will happen with the customer missing out on competition.

How is the Abbott Government Going?

How is the Abbott Government going now that we have gone 4 months into the new Government.
We were promised a steady hand, no surprises Government with the adults in charge.
Lets see then.
Fraudband unraveling as the days tick on from the election date. TIC TIC TIC.
From Delimiter.

In its broadband policy released in April 2013 (PDF), the Coalition made the following pledge: “Within 90 days the department of Broadband Communications and the digital economy, with the assistance of NBN Co and private carriers, will provide Parliament with a ranking of broadband quality and availability in all areas of Australia. This ranking will be published for comment and review and will guide prioritisation of the rollout.”
The report was brought out but is a joke of a report not promising what Turnbull said it would.
Quote:
However, the report released by the Minister appears to be little more than three pages of extremely high-level summary overview material. It does not consist of a “ranking of broadband quality and availability in all areas of Australia” as the Coalition had promised would be delivered within 90 days of it taking office.
The promise of faster, cheaper broadband was poo, pooed by most Telecommunication Techies, but Turnbull kept going.
Quote:
This approach has meant that the Coalition has admitted — just several months after the Federal Election — that it will no longer be able to keep its election promise of giving all Australians access to 25Mbps broadband speeds by 2016.
Quote:
I really have no idea how anyone at NBN Co — with that company’s deep engineering expertise — is supposed to take it seriously. It is a farcical effort that the Government should be ashamed of, and reflects a new broken election promise for the Coalition, if a minor one.
The Coalition has sold us a "pup", a very expensive and out of date pup at that.
Their broadband policy is a shambles, we were all warned.
They should bite the bullet and do the proper thing and apologise to the Australian people and continue with Labor's "Real NBN".
