Hi Nick,

I'm a journalist with PC&Tech Authority, which I think you were also previously an editor of, am I right?

I recently wrote an article that chronicled the history of the NBN, mainly in regards to the disaster that has occurred since the Mix, the staggering amounts of money wasted on purchasing old, dated tech to be re-jigged, as well as the Coalition's fairly obvious plan to pump and dump it to future private buyers.

I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on the future viability of the NBN, and how you were gagged (and what parts specifically) by the ABC in regards to reporting on it.

Thanks mate, I appreciate it.

I also share your concerns on the MTM but I'm probably a little more optimistic that the engineers will do the best they can to deliver a good product. There is so much FUD I don't think people know what to believe.

Can you provide any concrete information, such as memos, emails or internal documents on your gagging? Even if you can retract the names I feel it would make your case a lot more palatable in the court of public opinion.

I've just published a piece on this here:

Happy to take your comments.

Why do you keep telling customers to email your team? These are two huge problems and you can't even be bothered to fix them yourself. You've probably lost yourselves a ton of customers already.
