[AusNOG] News: Minister Conroy contemplating Government-Funded undersea cable?

[Burt Mascareigne]

Spot on

Conroy is a pain, sabre rattling isn’t going to help anyone.

At this stage,  the NBN, is such a boon to Australia,  I…hesitantly…. Defend conroy… only because of NBN

To be,  NBN will but Australia on the international stage, and should some future govt need cash, they “could” sell it to get us out of a whole.  We have money now,  good time to invest in Australia,  imho

Hate to burst your bubble but federal politics are based on 3 year terms with senators getting an automatic 2 terms when elected. Conroy is a senator and got re-elected last election so he has a 6 year term :( the only reprieve is if labor loses but in that case we will probably lose the nbn as well.

Threatens 'unfettered power' to drive down prices.
Communications minister Stephen Conroy has threatened to fund a new submarine link between Australia and the US out of the National Broadband Network budget if international pricing does not fall to reasonable levels.

Discuss!
