The "many" you refer to is very few.  And what the NBN will offer there is
still a damned site better than the complete mess that's currently
available to them now.

And it has a lot to do with it - operating the fixed wireless and satellite
services will cost a *lot* - and the profits made on the fibre-supplied
premises will pay for that in such a way as those who do unfortunately miss
out on fibre don't have to pay stupidly high fees to get something decent.
