So what you are saying Anne is that the whole nation should have to cough up
just so that you can get broadband? Living away from infrastructure has its
price.
But say everyone living on the beaches, farms and outback settlements etc
SHOULD have access, then these should be 'local' issues and my NBN argument
remains unchanged.
I'll be generous though Anne, I'm happy to say "those using it when there is
copper nearby should pay for it" if that helps, but it still sounds like you
want the nation to pay for a safe, well-built, fully paved road to every
farm and outlying doorstep. Oh hang on, I still haven't read that you were
willing to pay for my road toll costs.
Just a thought. :)
Cheers,
Bruce

So I reiterate, why should I pay to help someone else download movies etc at
a faster speed when I don't have that need, and when nobody pays to help me
drive on the tollway to get faster speeds.
Because for a lot of us, it's not so much driving faster, as having a road
at all; and if we're going to build roads, why not safe, well-built roads
for all, that will last a long time with minimal maintenance?
