The consideration of 'audience'/user characteristics is important but has it been taken into account by NBN? Your mention of families in remote/regional areas is one, or to put it more general -- multi-user shared subscriptions. 

Then there's the upload versus download needs. Educational applications will require uploads. Business definitely will. And if there are real-time communication needs, which there are particularly for voice, the delay contentions are going to be a bitch.

The blanket sort of decision making seems a bit short sighted. Why am I not surprised?
