<p dir="ltr">I also think that there are options for cutting the price of the NBN that don't involve throwing out the FTTP component.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If the new government want to change the NBN significantly, there are a lot of contracts that need to be renegotiated. That alone will take a long time. Redesign to the proposed FTTN model will take time. Negotiating contracts to build the nodes will take time. Time costs money. It may well be that the cost of changing to a FTTN network is so high that such a change won't occur.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Let's wait and see what happens. :)</p>

<div>The NBN is one thing I’m not going to be worrying about. Telstra’s gonna buy the NBN off the government (It’s the Coalition. They’ll sell it, it’s what they do) and continue it along side the other ISPs because they know if they don’t we’ll be screwed.

<div>That’s my prediction and I’m confident in it.</div>
