Coalition's broadband policy much better

Comments on ABC report “Coalition unveils $6b broadband plan”, 10/08/2010, http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/08/10/2978634.htm?section=justin
It seems that the coalition's approach is much superior to the government's.

What any government should do is to create the necessary environment for the private sector to invest and build communication infrastructure like broadband networks.

The government, if it continues, is very likely to cost the taxpayers many billions of dollars more than necessary on its NBN, if the past two years can be used as any guide.

Government should be very cautious in committing big spending and should establish clear accountability for using taxpayers’ money and do the honourable thing if accountability requires it to be punished.

I am apolitical, but I am certainly not confident at all the Labor government will be able to get the NBN project completed without wastes billions and possibly tens of billions of taxpayers’ money.

Certainly there is no need to be adopting a model of almost "one size fit all" in national broadband network. Let the private sector do its innovation. Government is very poor in doing businesses.

Some businesses or organisations argue video conference or medical procedures etc. Surely they are true.

But that is not every household's need, is it? Why should every household to be equipped for what most of them don't need but have to pay for have them?

Whoever needs those things, they can arrange for that to be done at the lowest costs.
