I get the distinct feeling the whole NBN thing is being played for
political gain more than anything else.

"Many people in rural and regional Australia are suffering from a
drought and it's not because of a lack of rain. This drought is about a
lack of data - internet speeds so slow it's impossible to do online
banking or email a small photograph."

"The new half-a-billion-dollar satellite was launched this morning, but
due to months of testing will not be commercially available until mid-2016.
Central Queensland farmer Kristy Sparrow said the bush cannot wait that
long."
That being so, our only option is to make as much noise as possible.

The lack of infrastructure is costly in so many ways.
