Not sure if this is the kind of tone their client wants.
For those in the telecoms industry who wonder why the Coalition simply doesn’t get it and jump on the fibre bandwagon, I would politely suggest they have themselves to blame.
Agreed, the ALP and us geeks haven’t sold the pure potential for the NBN
