What a fuckin brain dead moron. Yes, he is actually buying copper (to renew some connections I guess?) to link the massively slowed down intenet signal from the node on the street where the fibre optic ends, to the home. Yes, instead of carrying on the fibre to the home and giving us 1 Gbps, he is buying copper to slow that down to 15 Mbps. Is he completely insane?There will come a day, probably now, when copper for the internet is simply obsolete. It will need replacing.
Perhaps he's outfitting his new parliamentary offices will a telegraph system reliant on Morse code. Or maybe he's going really modern and getting a FAX machine put in? Likely there's already one there from Abbott, so perhaps just a newer model?
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has defended the national broadband network's purchase of 1800 kilometres of copper to deliver his vision of fibre to the node.
The company told a Senate estimates hearing it has so far purchased $14 million worth of copper and will need more to meet future demand.
Mr Turnbull told parliament on Wednesday the design of the NBN requires new copper to connect the nodes to existing Telstra pillars.SBS
