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.

NBN 101

The NBN explained for the simple minded.
This is very funny, but sadly it is so true.
How come the Conservatives have buggered up a brilliant project and turned it into a very expensive white elephant.

More lies

"In an interview with The Australian Financial Review today, Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull said that he has the Coalition’s ubiquitous high-speed broadband plan ready to go that will give high-speed fibre internet access that will satisfy most users.
That’s right. Most users."

Yes, that was 21/08/2012. More than 1 year before the elections.
As "Blind Freddie" can see, a blatant lie.

Oh, how the public was deceived by these bunch of blatant liers.

Malcolm Turnbull accused of Lying

Malcolm Turnbull accused of blatantly lying.
He has been accused by Delimiter of lying to radio station Triple J and to that great paragon of virtue Alan Jones on 2GB.
From Delimiter.

Quote:

Malcolm Turnbull earlier this week made several statements on Alan Jones’ breakfast show on 2GB radio which the Communications Minister is aware are false, repeating incorrect information he had previously broadcast on the ABC’s Triple J several weeks ago and failing to correct incorrect information broadcast by Jones himself.

Renai from Delimiter continues.

Quote:

I remind you of the Australian Government’s Standards of Ministerial Ethics document, which is published on line here in PDF format. This document states:

“Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries hold high public office and are entrusted with considerable privilege and power. The people of Australia are entitled to expect that, in the discharge of their duties, they will act in a manner that is consistent with the highest standards of integrity and propriety.”

The document further states:

“Ministers are expected to be honest in the conduct of public office and take all reasonable steps to ensure that they do not mislead the public or the Parliament. It is a Minister’s personal responsibility to ensure that any error or misconception in relation to such a matter is corrected or clarified, as soon as practicable and in a manner appropriate to the issues and interests involved.”

Renai has pointed out on a number of occasions Turnbull's misleading comments. It is unfortunate that this will not be aired in the Murdoch press or the ABC.
The ABC had Malcolm Turnbull on Q&A this week and Tony Jones the moderator went out of his way to shut down NBN questions to Turnbull.
I cannot believe that Turnbull was not asked any questions on the NBN considering he is the Communications Minister responsible for this huge infrastructure build.
Something is fishy there.

Malcolm Turnbull and Productivity Commission enquiry into the NBN

Malcolm Turnbull's comments on the Productivity Commission’s probe into the National Broadband Network.
Malcolm Turnbulls comment
From the Crikey website below is a comment from Turnbulls comments. I thought this comment was very good and shows how the coalition is thinking, to bring cheap, fast  and affordable broadband to Australia.

Which is incredible really, selling a dog that you know is infested with fleas and hasn’t been neutered and doesn’t carry a chip, and won’t go on a lead, and barks all night.
But that is what TA has Turnbull doing.
So let me get this straight. The Libs, through Turnbull, are complaining about a lack of competition in the NBN rollout, because the major supplier is acting like a monopoly supplier in terms of actually delivering infrastructure more cheaply than the private sector competitors can.
Not that they are charging like a monopoly supplier, in fact sometimes not charging at all for greenfield sites, but that they are effecting efficiencies that can only accrue to a government backed monopolistic supplier of crucial national infrastructure.
Because some supremely efficient private sector suppliers can’t do it for the same price, and this means that if they did all the supplying we might actually get, I don’t know, the cheapest possible way to roll-out some nation building infrastructure.
Sorry, what was the problem again, apart from it possibly being against some laws which even in the prosecuting fall over from the ridiculousness test?
Hold on, if the NBN roll all this out, it might lead to the NBN actually being really valuable, possibly even multiples of the costs in setting it up.
This is an outrage, Sir.
Whoever those NBN fatcat shareholders are should be ashamed of their good fortune. Why isn’t the government doing this?
D’oh!
