Apparently the Tasmanian government has estimated that only 16% of homes will take up the high speed internet system now being installed in Tasmania, the first state to receive the fabulous new $43 billion fibre-optic network of which the Rudd government is so proud.
There are also questions being raised about whether the cost quoted by Stephen Conroy includes the costs of restoring roads and pavements ripped up during the installation, or whether local government will be expected to make good after the installers leave! Given the already parlous state of most local government finances, that little detail certainly needs to be clarified pretty quickly!
