EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

Senator Conroy has stated optimistic figures for take-up of NBN services in Tasmania, suggesting that 50 percent of households will accept new fibre connections to their households - contrary to earlier reports which suggested that just 16 percent of residents were interested in the service.

Today we also note that healthy private competition is delivering similar infrastructure in London without a burden on the taxpayer.

Clearly, its regional Australia that most needs government-funded broadband, less so the cities.

-- Brett Winterford
