Ever since the announcement of NBN’s<\/a> highly anticipated three-year-rollout plan<\/a> in March, there has been much jumping up and down from political leaders in various areas not listed within the three-year plan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s another from Latrobe City councillor, Sharon Gibson, after Moe was left out:<\/p>\n

\n\n \n
Councillor Battles for Moe Broadband<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/center>\n<\/p>\n

“Cr Gibson will lobby her fellow councillors to support a motion at Monday night’s council meeting calling for the Mayor to write to the Federal Minister for Broadband, Senator Stephen Conroy and urge him to include the Moe-Newborough district in the initial rollout schedule.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Exactly why<\/i> should Moe be bumped up the list? What about all the other locations that want to be bumped up the list? <\/p>\n

Remember, when you walk into a busy bank at lunchtime, and there’s 30 people waiting for service, and only 5 tellers operating, you have to wait.<\/p>\n

A complicated construction project like the NBN simply can’t all be completed at once, as construction resources are limited. Like when there’s only 5 tellers operating in the bank.<\/p>\n

Or a house that might be built in one day, if there were enough contractors available to do all the work in one day – generally of course, there’s not.<\/p>\n

Writing to Stephen Conroy isn’t going to help either – NBN Co determines the rollout plan, not the minister.<\/p>\n

Neither he, nor NBN Co are going to change things to suit everyone’s wishes, even if they could and\/or wanted to. Bumping a location up the order sets the precedent, then everyone will want their area bumped up.<\/p>\n

“We really don’t need to be isolated from the rest of the Valley.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Isolated? Really?<\/p>\n

It’s not as if existing broadband in Moe is going to stop working when Morwell is connected to the NBN. You’re not going to be “isolated”. Moe is<\/i> in the fibre footprint<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You just have to be patient.<\/p>\n

Like everyone else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
