Rupert Murdoch Wants To Destroy Australia's National Broadband Network

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday August 4, 2013 @12:23AM from the with-his-fully-operational-battlestation dept.

pcritter writes "With the Australian Federal Election looming, Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Australia's biggest newspapers, is looking to unseat the incumbent Labor government over its centerpiece National Broadband Network policy. The media mogul sees the NBN as a threat to his media empire and has ordered newspapers to attack the project at every opportunity. The NBN seeks to bring 100Mbps Fibre-To-The-Premises internet to 93% of the country with wireless and satellite for the remainder. It currently reaches 4% of the population and is slated to complete in 2021. The conservative opposition has promised to dramatically scale back the project."

I thought they did things "upside down" not "backwards" in Australia.

  Australians can do both at once if you apply the [[-1, 0], [0, -1]] transformation matrix to them.
