Some seem surprised there is a cost blow out. I'm certainly not, it's kind of the norm for gov projects. I don't blame one party anymore than the other either. I couldn't believe when Telstra got that $13b windfall for their aging pos copper network. I always was of the opinion that in time the private sector would upgrade trunks, links etc as demand for bandwidth grew. This was the case as we transitioned from dial up to ADSL etc. But as I mentioned some time ago, wireless will catch up and the nbn would be redundant before it's even completed.
