controversy surrounding senior mgmt appointments

[edit]

this is notable given the political dimensions of NBN and the government's appointment of CEO/CFO. it was discussed in parliament.

please stop reverting the edits without rationale--Rmarsden (talk) 01:28, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As pointed out on your talk page[1], Mike Quigley and Jean-Pascal Beaufret was never linked to the bribery in the investigation.
That's not what I'm saying. Read more carefully. I'm saying their appointment was overshadowed as a politival issue. I do also believe that the investigation is relevant in this appointment. What's the harm in leaving this there? You seem biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmarsden (talk • contribs) 01:40, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As per WP:BLP, there is great harm in posting false information or even hinting at it. The information you posted has no place in Wikipedia. — [d'oh] 01:46, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's not false. Read the sources. I have added several more. There WAS controversy. And there WAS a bribery investigation.You seem biased. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view --Rmarsden (talk) 02:10, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have trouble seeing this being relevant to the entry, which should focus directly on the corporation itself and not the personal history of the CEO/CFO. I think the page needs to follow similar Wikipedia page formats like the other Australian government owned corporations[2] such as the ABC[3], Australia Post[4] and telecommunication companies like Telstra[5] and Optus[6].

The entry as it stands reads that Mike Quigley was appointed to NBN Co on 25 July 2009 then follows with 'was overshadowed by a bribery investigation' but does not make it clear that this 'controversy' arose in 2011 a considerable time after he was appointed. Because Mike Quigley and Jean-Pascal Beaufret are not directly accused of being involved in the corruption scandal, if it to be included it at it should be on the basis of the Opposition questioning his ability to run NBN Co and balanced with an appropriate quote from the Prime Minister defending the current NBN Co CEO/CFO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.175.50 (talk) 18:53, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

reverted merge with National Broadband Article

[edit]

for some reason someone merged the NBN Co article with the NBN article. Given NBN Co is a major Australian Corporation it surely deserves its own article--124.171.43.176 (talk) 06:06, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Funding and ownership section

[edit]

This section needs to be rewritten and it also includes items not directly related to NBN Co's funding and ownership. The first sentence which talks about the NBN build cost should conclude the sentence about the amount the Australian government is investing in NBN Co. eg "The Australian Government plans to invest A$27.1 billion to fund the estimated NBN build cost of A$35.7 billion" etc. The NBN build cost should be expanded on to include the expected range for the NBN build cost as the as the A$35.7 billion figure is the median cost of the network build assuming medium construction costs etc. Also the amount should be reviewed to confirm or correct if the build cost is just the FTTP component or also includes the Satellite and 4G Fixed wireless services.

The deal between Telstra and NBN Co should be moved to a new section of the Wikipedia article (or the current section renamed appropriately) as it is not related to NBN Co's funding, the current wording implies $11.7 billion has not been funded for, but in actuality it has been accounted for in NBN Co's operating expenses over the period of the 30 year deal. Optus should also be mentioned as being involved and the details of the deal should be expanded to include information such as it being approved by Telstra shareholders and approved by the ACCC.

The last sentence regarding remaining funds should also be looked at as revenue generated by NBN Co in the early stages of the build will also fund the project.

"Start" class

[edit]

This article is a mere outline, though more than a stub. It is out of date, gives insufficient detail of the company's relation to, and actions in improving, telecommunications in Australia, and indicates nothing of the current controversy and politicking surrounding it; all information to which the reader is entitled and would expect to find, regardless of precedents in other Australian corporation articles above mentioned. There are ample media and academic sources which could be cited in relation to these and other issues in relation to Nbn. I have therefore changed the class to 'start' in each Wikiproject.

cold calls

[edit]

I just received a phone call and when I answered it the voice said "hi this is Nicole and we have been trying to contact you. Your service is about to be disconnected please press 1 to connect to a contractor" As I am already connected to the NBN is this a scam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.172.181 (talk) 06:20, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
