While they are getting better as how these page one stock on newspaper ads are actually stuck on, they con tin to cover editorial and customers continue to peel them off and litter the streets. This one is from The Sunday Age.

Colin:
1. Yes – it should have been done more regularly. Like every three to six months or an major milestone in the life of the project.
2. And the providers seem resilient to any sort of blame. Many of them are light and nimble and adaptive; some have got old and long in the tooth [thinking of the duopoly in particular – Telstra and Optus].
Yes, I saw that government blameshift.
NBNco is a privatised company, yes. That means that those standards of responsibility from the Telecommunications Authority are meant to be applied.
3. The finance does follow the motivation, doesn’t it, Colin?
And now that I am buying the Saturday and Sunday Ages instead of subscribing – the supplements matter.
The last egregious one for me was two pages about Adani.
More generally, the pages after the Arts and before the weather/public notices have been covered with advertisements.
Some have been good; like the ones for aged care and hearing aids. And the ones about solar panels. The editorial content is not so closely scrutinised as I would like.

Its the fault of the ALP (for getting a few things wrong when they first created the NBN including the pricing model and some things in the way the network was being built). Its also the fault of the ACCC (for forcing the switch from the original 7+7 POI to the 121 POI model). Its the fault of the LNP (for comming in and changing the NBN model to the crappier and less attractive FTTN model we have now). And its the fault of the providers for not buying a big enough pipe between the NBN network and the ISPs network at the various points of interconnect.
