NBN "greatest con job ever put to the Australian public" - RMIT lecturer 2013 (video)

I stumbled into this gem on Turnbull's internet from way back in 2013 (three months after the Abbott gov was elected). Mark Gregory, a lecturer at RMIT research university in Melbourne explains what a massive con job Turnbull's National Broadband Network was going to be. 

Maximum speeds of only 100Mbps with Turnbull. Under Labor's fibre to the premises roll out the NBN was getting ready to offer gigabit NBN for those who wanted and could afford the service. Now look...

It was one of the many reasons I was aghast and appalled at Abbott being elected back then saying to myself well there goes the NBN.

I agree with Kevin Rudd, there should be a royal commission into what happened in the Liberal party to decide on Murdoch's preferred NBN model instead of continuing on with Labor's roll out. It was a non-issue for many back then who had little knowledge of the technology involved, and they certainly didn't win gov on their NBN policy. So why did they make such a big deal out of their policy on it?
