nothinghead Posted August 20, 2016 So what do yas reckon was the impetus behind the fibre network debacle? money in the right (/wrong) pockets obviously, but why? Slower internet means easier "security"? less piracy? Or was is something simpler like Telstra not wanting to spend the money at present, and not having to do it because of the monopoly? Any opinion appreciated of course, but At0m I hope you pitch in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
