They can’t run a stable network. They can’t run secure Cell Towers. They can’t provide Emergency phone coverage. They can’t run a Cable TV Service. They can’t pay their tax. They can’t compete with Aussie Broadband, Telstra and/or NBN.

It is time to abandon the whole Privatised Telecommunications infrastructure and for the Government to exercise Eminent Domain.
