It'll be interesting to see where the opposition takes their broadband policy. With Turnbull at the helm of opposition telecommunications policy, it is certainly beginning too seem like they are less likely to completely tear down the NBN. Given that it is becoming abundantly clear that something needs to be done, I think it's probably more likely that they will simply change the scale of the project.
At any rate, they seem to have given up on the ridiculous notion that wireless is a suitable replacement in urban areas, and actually seem to be moving towards a more comprehensive plan...
I'm holding out hope that even with an opposition government that in urban areas there will be optical. The question will be how they manage the future of the infrastructure, and whether or not they adequately provide for rural areas.
P.S. If you do invite Woz out for beers, count me in :P
