93% of everybody is getting fibre. The rest - particularly the 'outside' - were always 
getting radio, in every model - its one of the few ways they all agreed.
Interestingly that remaining 7% is likely to be made up of many many small pockets of 
houses inside the nominal fibre footprint area - odd streets and spurs of suburbs 
without sufficient housing density to justify a fibre deployment. If you live in a 
spur of bushland beside a national park or river, you may be out of luck - 
consequently the radio network may have to cover quite a lot of the urbanised area.

And here I was thinking choices about who's going to form government were made by the 
people, voting for a representative of their community. People who also largely don't 
know the reality of the NBN deployment, if there is one.

I find it refreshing that there is someone still left who thinks there is a one true 
reality when it comes to the NBN, for anyone to 'know'.
