Agree with David Lyon we need question what sense drives Technology policy.

Concentration upon NBN to some houses being connected misleads discussion.

Attention needed on fibre optic connection to sub-exchanges, so areas
being connected quickly have available a suitable minimum standard for
connection speed.

Many still lack access to ADSL/2,  mobile internet, satellite or other
equivalent services.

Need clearer which areas have reasonable services, which do not.

Does dial-up of 50 kps  (OK for 1991)  remain the national minimum standard ?
