Graeme Wood, founder of Wotif, joins the ranks of IT cavemen who are blind to the real value of the NBN. At the World Computer Congress here in Brisbane he has lauded the benefits to business and government, but cannot see any value to private users of the internet.
If the mix of the normal usage – email, music, video, Facebook, gaming, stays the same, but just happens faster – is there an economic or social benefit in that for the private user?
Well he kind of answers his own question… incorrectly. Normal usage of the internet is going to change so drastically over the next 5 to 10 years that we will wonder how we survived without fibre. Where is the vision that someone like Graeme should have?
