the government is expected to spend up to $43 billion.
5. Do you think Australians should invest in The NBN? Justify your answer.
Yes because it is a way of connecting people right across the country and possibly the world. It gives people the access to high speed internet access at a ‘cheap’ price according to the government. It could have many educational benefits and could improve the standards of teaching. It also provides high speed internet for online gamers who use LAN to connect and verse stheir opponents in games.
