[So much for the $700,000 spent on the name change, it's not 'NBN Co' 
anymore!]

Some quotes from the article:

...
"Potentially the biggest risk introduced by Malcolm Turnbull is the IT 
systems
upgrades required to accommodate his multi-technology mix."
...
"The risk, cost and complexity that the MTM has introduced for NBN's IT 
capital
costs is significant."
...
"The rollout of FTTN and HFC is still in the trial phase and of the million
premises made 'serviceable' by the NBN, only 67 were served by an MTM 
technology."
...
"Mr Turnbull's commitment to telling the truth has resulted in the 
company saying
almost nothing. The Strategic Review was heavily redacted, blacking out 
anything
that involved forward commitments. It is now 34 months since NBN Co last 
issued a
full Corporate Plan."

[Yep: MTM - Malcolm Turnbull's Mess]
