NBN take-up “a bitter jest”, says Turnbull
news Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has labelled news that NBN Co has signed up some 4,000 customers to its networks as “a bitter jest”, pointing out that the company’s own corporate plan planned for 35,000 customers to be using the infrastructure by June 2011, and 137,000 by June 2012.
On the public holiday yesterday, a number of media outlets published a story which appeared to be sourced from wires service AAP, which reported NBN Co internal statistics as showing that its network had been rolled out past 18,200 premises nationally, with some 2,300 customers having signed up to the fibre infrastructure and some 1,700 more having started to use the satellite service available in rural areas. The network will hit another 500,000 premises in 2012.
However, Turnbull issued a statement yesterday criticising NBN Co for its efforts so far.
