Sorry mate, you might have to wait till 2020…  hahaha…  What a joke!  I am crying now…  :-(

The federal government has extended the completion date to 2020 for the National Broadband Network (NBN).  Apparently there was some agreement between some MPS that the bush and the city folks have to pay the same price for the new NBN.

When I go to the bush for camping, I don’t expect a toilet that has flushing and clean water facilities.  I don’t expect to have mobile phone coverage everywhere I go, there are lots of things I can give up because I want to have cleaner air, quieter environment and basically just to enjoy the wilderness…  The same can be said to the people that chose to live in the sticks.  They have cheaper houses and bigger piece of land.  Some don’t even see bitumen road for many kilometres…  On the other hand, city folks complain and whinge when they see one tiny pothole on the bitumen road.  City folks are only a few minutes drive to local shopping centres while the folks in the bush might have to drive for hours just to get to a convenient shop.

There are ups and downs living in the city or in the bush.  However we can never expect to have the same quality of service for everyone…  Come on, let’s stop debating and start building…  By the time they finish rolling out the NBN, the technology would be out-of-date and will need to be upgraded again… lol

My humble opinion:  Australia is going to be a backward country…
