It is reported that government communication minister Stephen Conroy (and prime minister Gillard) announced that the government's NBN can deliver gigabit internet speed this morning, 10 times of what they have been saying of the NBN speed of 100 megabit up till today. See: ABC online report “Big gig: NBN to be 10 times faster”, http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/08/12/2980752.htm?section=justin
One has to wonder how could this happen? Suddenly in an election campaign, it has become 10 times faster? How could all experts who had been involved in assessments or evaluations have got it that wrong technically?
It is a well known and mature techonology. It is too good to be true! It begs belief! It defies logic and common sense!
To me, it is unconvincing and unbelievable.
It is highly likely to be a mistake or a hyper spin. If it turns out to be a spin, then a big scandal if not a criminal offence, has been committed.
