The NBN Will Be Scrapped When the Coalition Wins Government

Will Australia ever have a National Broadband Network? It seems it will only be partially completed before the Coalition wins the next election and puts a red line through it all. Telstra will remain the controlling body when NBN.com takes over. Not much will change in Australia's communication sector. Those who miss out will be terribly bitter about the mish-mash of a system we are left with. Just why the Coalition hates the NBN is hard to clarify. Why don't they want the nation to move forward with a world-class Internet network?

Telstra is being criticized for being too competitive in price cutting. There is not much profit left for small telcos. Surely, this is the way of the market, but is Telstra trying to "grab" the market before it gains control over a market that will be opened up again with a coalition win?

Telstra will survive a re-adjustment when smaller firms will fail. The Labor Government sees the deal "done" and a majority of the population believes this to be the case. It is certain however, that a new government will bring a stop it all - bloody minded or not. The NBN company will be dissolved. Australian right wing parties are dead against formation of the new national body. After all, they sold off Telstra.

Only one thing will stop this happening: that is Labor, The Greens and Independents could retain control of the upper house. Perhaps the Coalition will not need the upper house in order to scrap it?

A Win to the Coalition Will Be a Win for Telstra Without the NBN

One thing that could swing voters in favor of Labor is the National Broadband Network. Many who are absolutely fed up with the "miss-spending of the present Government still want faster Internet speed and they are willing to put up with more Labor failings to get it.

The Coalition has not seen the importance of this issue to voters. Its version of fast Internet is a feeble 12Mbps based on old technology led by the market. History has shown overseas that the market will not provide. Governments have had to build broadband networks.

Claims that the IT industry fully supports the Coalition plan instead of the NBN are untrue. The tech-heads who can do without the NBN live in the major city centers where cable is readily available. They are not concerned about the bush which telcos will never reach.

Telstra is now in the mix with the NBN. But if it fails to go ahead, Testra will fight back over time to dominate the communications industry again. It has already cut prices dramatically and is offering 8000kbps to outer city areas. To people who have had to "pay through the nose" for 512 and possibly 1500 this is really fast. A win for the Coalition will see people moving from small telcos back to Telstra in droves as they make the most of a bad thing.
