So Howard privatised Telstra when he was in gov and sold of the copper network infrastructure. Now as part of Turnbulls fucked up National Fraudband Network he needs the copper network for to get from the node to the home. This is instead of replacing the network with fibre optic cable and getting decent net speeds.
So Turnbull is buying it back.
The big advantage? The lawn doesn't have to be dug up. Oh the humanity!
He also praised the fact that the under the new agreement, lawns would no longer have to be dug up, which they previously needed to be so that fibre could be laid.
Shadow Communications Minister, Jason Clare commented on “Tony Abbott’s Christmas present to Australia”, saying: “Merry Christmas Australia…Today Tony Abbott has bought back the copper network that John Howard sold last century. To keep it working he is going to have to spend billions of dollars over the next decade – and all Australia will get from it is a second-rate NBN.” more
