Currently in Australia there is a spate of television messages that advertise the NBN Co (National Broadband Network Corporation), which is an Australian government owned corporation, where it is a monopoly in providing the broadband service.
One rule that could be applied is that if a (government) product
or service is advertised on television, it's got to be dodgy.
Many Australian government sponsored or owned projects are a
failure from many levels, where one of the more significant ones, is this
minute detail called budget, which is blown way above initial project funding
where the extra funds are ripped from the tax payers pool, in essentially what
we call a 'money for mates' scam.
While this action could fall under the label of 'failure of government', realistically it's not a 'failure' as this is how it's been planned from the start.
Many falsified tender processes have resulted in ripping
off hard working 'mums and dads' taxes going to the 'buddies' of those in
government to substandard projects, where if this type of work was carried out
in the 'commercial' world those businesses would no longer exist and more
importantly the people in charge of the failed projects would not be
employable.
In the world of 'government' the story is quite different
where the people in charge of the 'failures' are supported by those in government
and move on to other projects ripping off the Australian tax slaves even more.
This is the culture of the people in the Australian
government, which in reality works against the good people of Australia.
Australia's broadband is already out of date and a huge
failure, where by being a monopoly people are forced to use the substandard product.
As Google's advertisement says:
"... and when
the NBN is working well enough to support a good video stream!"
The video resolution for the website mentioned within the
illustration is 480x360, where at 30fps would require a bitrate of 0.520Mbps,
for the video component only.
In terms of 'internet' speeds Australia is literally third world,
where gypsies in Romania have quicker 'net access.
