Australia doesn't need faster broaband -- It needs cheaper broadband. The pollys are convinced they need to solve the coverage problem and that's it, but really it's only a small part of the problem. Technology to solve this problem is pretty much already available and just needs installing. The long term problem is getting data in to the country. The cost of getting bytes in to Australia is quite high (we're an isolated island afterall) and no-one is doing anything about this!
