said by Romney2012:This NBN may not be completed because to get approval, the Labor Gov't had to cut a deal with 2 rural independent MPs in order to form a gov't.
That deal reversed the rollout plan from metro areas first & the rural areas next in order to finance the costs of the rollout.
Under the deal, the rural areas now go 1st and the metro areas last. Besides throwing the financing plan on its head, it will also erode voter support(who mostly live in metro areas) due to higher broadband costs in metro areas in order to subsidize rural costs. The Labor Gov't is a minority gov't that may not last very long. Some think less than 1 yr. Not long enough to see the NBN rollout to conclusion.
