I've watched Australia's Federal Minister for Communications and Broadband Stephen Conroy on Q & A, listened to him on radio and read his comments in the press since the announcement of the Rudd Government's $43billion National Broadband Network (NBN) plan. In most of these appearances, the bloke has done an awesome job of overcomplicating something that is very simple.
I think in his latest sound-bite acquired by the ABC, he has simplified his stance, thus made perfect sense.
Conroy responded to Opposition calls for further studies in relation to the NBN by saying: "We don't need any more studies, any more cost benefit analyses to know that this is an infrastructure development this country is crying out for."
I completely agree. Simply said, internet is too slow in Australia. Most people won't know the difference until they experience it. Spend our money, speed it up, then let's see who will complain. Let's see who will call for studies then.
Nobody.
