Concerns over state of wiring for the NBN

Concerns over state of wiring for the NBN: "The condition of millions of copper wires the Coalition will rely on to deliver its broadband policy is unknown, and it will take months to uncover how many are functional and how many are beyond use.

Telstra has never revealed how much it spends maintaining the network each year and its own descriptions of the life span range from three to 100 years."

...The Coalition wants NBN Co to provide within 60 days an estimate of how much it would cost to change to a fibre-to-the-node network, and wants the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy to provide within 90 days a list of broadband quality in all areas of Australia. Both tasks require detailed knowledge of the state of the copper network.
