NBN Co: How We Chose Our Sites, And Why Turnbull’s Attacks Are Decidedly ‘Odd’ | Gizmodo Australia

NBN Co: How We Chose Our Sites, And Why Turnbull’s Attacks Are Decidedly ‘Odd’ | Gizmodo Australia: "At a media briefing in Sydney today, NBN Co executives outlined in more detail how it picked the sites in the new 3 year plan, as well as why Malcolm Turnbull’s attacks on NBN Co’s plans are “odd”.

A lot of Gizmodo readers were keen to find out if they were on the three-year rollout plan announced last Thursday, but for every reader that was elated to discover they were, there were three that were cranky they weren’t. That makes mathematical sense; the three-year plan covers around a quarter of the premises in Australia.

At NBN Co’s headquarters in Sydney today, NBN Co chief operating officer Ralph Steffens laid out in a little more detail how NBN Co chose the sites it did.

“It’s a straightforward exercise, but then an incredibly complex one to pull off. Once you have announced your first sites you need to build from there. You cannot build a patchwork across the nation, because that would be the most inefficient way to build the network.”"
