How long for an NBN reboot?
This week we ask, how long will it all take. Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull likens it to turning around a supertanker, but it will, of course, take a lot longer than that. David Epstein, Vice President, Corporate and Regulatory Affairs at Optus, reckons it will be two years before the plan is hatched, with agreements and any necessary regulatory changes in place. Jason Clare, the shadow minister for communications is also on the program, warning us all to retain the structural separation of Telstra, and not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
