David Ramli at the SMH has been talking to MyRepublic, a Singaporean ISP launching services here in mid-2016. They’re certainly not backward in coming forward about what they think of the NBN (sorry, nbn\u2122):<\/p>\n
“I don’t know what [the government] is\u00a0doing on the other policy fronts but on this they’ve completely stuffed it,” he said.\u00a0“More and more Australians will leave the country looking for jobs and you’ll continue to be a resource based economy \u2013 the hope of building IT jobs and a digital economy will kind of be more difficult to achieve.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“On FTTN we’ll market 100Mbps and when people come over we’ll say ‘sorry, thank your government [because] you’re on a shit network and the most you can get is 20-30Mbps, but we will continue to lobby your government to turn it into a fibre-to-the-home one and as soon as you get there we’ll get you a free upgrade to fibre’.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
