those events that triggered the government to act and hopefully see that current ADSL is not going to cut it, current coverage isn’t going to cut it and to help everyone a high speed NBN is needed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">As previously mentioned - the horse has bolted. It’s bolted because there’s no big demand for high speed, affordable internet access. I’m not a fan of our glorious leaders, but Turnbull
wasn’t exactly incorrect saying that <a href="http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/366022/12mbps_enough_all_applications_turnbull_-_updated/">12Mbps is enough for anybody</a>. The fact is that High Def, VOD services are of low impact in Australia. VOD is
just one pivot of potential too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">So to re-iterate yet again. I’m not saying we should be subsidising a business, we should be facilitating them in the interest of open market and servicing our consumers. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
