Both companies provide FTTH or FTTN in most parts of Melbourne and Sydney
already. Then they realised the take up rate for overpriced cable TV was
less than expected and both companies stopped their roll outs.
Without privatisation and duplication, we could have had one fibre to twice
as many homes instead, and over 99% mobile coverage by now, for no extra
cost.
Too bad for much of Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart, not to mention
most country towns of course.

Nope, not in the sense that Telstra is proposing FTTN.

Wrong again. Optarse lost the content war to foxtel and THAT was the reason the rollout stopped.

Telstra only did it because Optarse did it.

Wrong. We wouldnt have seen any FTT* without it.

Pure fantasy.

They wouldnt have got it without the telsta monopoly being ripped away.

I assume you mean NOT "standing up to Telstra's bullying tactics". It
remains to be seen what the Labor party will actually do. Their options have
been severely hampered by LJH's sell off, and importation of foreign
managers with no interest in the public good.

But the Labor party is just as guilty of selling off our infrastructure to
private interests, then ploughing in more public money to prop them up.

Nope. OP was correct, they both stopped because of money and the fact that
it was costing too much

Yep.

Nope.

Nope. Telstra only ever did cable because Optarse did. Optarse only ever did
their cable rollout because they wanted to get the jump on Telstra with something
more than Telstra could offer and when they lost the content war to foxtel, they
realised that they were never going to make enough money out of cable to
make the extras economically viable, so they stopped their cable rollout.

You've never had a clue about the basics. Thats why you only ever get to clean the dunnys.
