They have a slight advantage I think…

Not so fast there ....

Estonia has 1.3 million people spread over 45,000 km2 of space
Just our 3 eastern state capitals have 10.4 million people in 28,309 km2 of space.

Hell, even the Gold Coast has more than 1,000 people per km2 of area.  Density isn't the issue.  Nobody ever talked about building a PON in unpopulated areas.

As for funding it :

Estonia GDP per capita  :  USD$18,783
Australia GDP per capita  :  USD$67,458


However you want to cut it, they just made a better decision.  Perhaps they didn't politicise one of their nation's key infrastructure projects like we did.


Thanks

David
