In fasct the obverse is true

The one intermediately following the NBN Corporate plan is a Doozy. Yet they are influential and believed

Your response this morning is responding to my post from yesterday afternoon which was made clearly obsolete after I revised my post yesterday evening (see above):

7:19pm:
Once all Optus customers are using fibre and not copper, then there will be:

Higher operating expenses due to more (Optus) customers connected.

(and that extra OpEx will be)

Directly balanced out by increased revenue generated by those extra (Optus) customers.

In other words – after all is done and dusted, not early on…

False. It’s 36%, and yes it does make a difference. Please learn how to count and read graphs correctly. People will rightly assume you have some kind of irrational bias if you don’t.

“My guess is Telstra, Optus and Vodafone are formulating marking plan to poach many of that 50%”

Great. More people on these wireless plans means less on 12/1mbps NBN. The percentages change and just like that you are proven wrong again.

I’m starting to think the new term I just typo’d of trollout works in this case. Lets get that one to stick :)

If that link doesnt work, just go to http://www.nbnco.com.au/ and pick the “Are you amongst the first” option.

Really, you dont need static maps when its mapped against Google maps. Hardly hiding the evidence.

That sounds entirely fair!

[/sarcasm]

Really? It looks under budget to me…$30.4 billion is significantly less than $43 billion

“significantly behind schedule on customer sign ups and fibre roll out”

Really? A nine month delay from Telstra has been reduced to only a net 6 month delay…sounds like it’s ahead of schedule.

As at June 30, it had 14,000 (customers), and only 4000 of those were actually connected by the fibre…. Those customers generated just $2 million of revenue over the entirety of the 2011-12 year.

And to get the $2 million, ‘operating’ the NBN cost $521 million. Over and above, the quite separate build cost…

Pray tell us why?

excellent

Why you’d almost need a ubiquitous fibre network deployed to everyones homes to support the tower density! luckily someone is building that for Telstra and Optus.

(psst. Telstras 4g network doesnt break 15 megabits in melbourne CBD at peak times – )

It’s no coincidence at all that the NBN passes all premises, after all, the satellite is meant to cover all of Australia.

And I wouldn’t say it’s speculation, just something I noticed when reading the announcement today. I suspect that the cost of the entire roll out is near what they say it should be. Another 9 years is a long time relatively.

And?….

You don’t actually say where you’re going with that. If you mean a substantial portion will go on 4G only?….yes, well we’ve discussed this before and it is rather fruitless to give you facts and figures that refute that likelihood when I’ve done it several times before and you pay no attention….

Yes, because this is what is happening to everyone in the rollout….

My guess is Telstra, Optus and Vodafone are formulating marking plan to poach many of that 50% as customers for a much faster 4G network.
