Nice NBN rival you built there. What a shame if someone taxed it

Re: User pays?

If you live far away from infrastructure, you should have to pay for the privilege.
The Git lives 3 km from the telephone exchange and is on FW because he's remote. The Gitling lives 3 km from a different telephone exchange (in the city) and has FTTN. I get 10 Mb/s and the Gitling gets 40 Mb/s. The Git has to pay several times as much per GB as the Gitling. I'd say it's a case of rural dwellers subsidising city dwellers.
