More so each mobile tower supporting this standard and any mobile tower currently supporting 3G/4G requires connection to the network which will be currently and going forward running fibre cables. Be that with Optus/Telstra/Vodafone

Obviously you think the internet is the answer to all our problems, so lets throw a squillon at it.
Will someone please give me an example of where our internet currently is causing huge problems?

4 1/2 years later and only 100,000 premises connected..

37 Billion and counting

The NBN is farcical.

So logically extrapolating on your reason for waiting perhaps we should wait until say 2040 to see how good the technology is them. Once again we have a Conservative Government has tunnel vision which stops in the 1950s."

It quite spurious to think waiting 6 or 7 years is the same as waiting a generation - '2040'. A bit of child act of exaggeration. I'm not sure comparing the 1950's, 60 odd years ago, to waiting a few years for a cheaper & better technology is accurate.
In fact it is absurd.

The point is at which point do you stop waiting? Presumably if you waited another three years (i.e. 10 years) the technology might be even better.
