EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

Today NBN Co chief executive Mike Quigley delivered a vigorous Charles Todd Oration in Sydney, in which he blasted the Coalition's plan to substitute a fibre National Broadband Network with a patchwork of DSL, wireless and HFC technology. The speech is worthy of ten minutes of your time, so we have published it in full.

The event was hosted by the Australian Computer Society, which didn't hesitate to throw its support behind the ALP's plan.

"I'm a believer", was the call from ACS members as they introduced themselves to Quigley post the speech. But iTnews can confirm that not all ACS members thought the political bias appropriate.
