Evaluation, straight a investigation
Broadband strategy revolutionary or road to nowhere? And yet, the government appears keen on pursuing its plans without any clarity.
In January 2017, it announced it had reached a new broadband deal with Telstra that will see Telstra build its own network of fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) and wireless transmission sites in Sydney. The deal was reportedly worth $3 billion in capital and is reportedly being delivered by late 2020.
This was the Government's last big wireless deployment before the end of the year and the announcement caused some concern that it had a poor understanding of mobile broadband and was likely to fall short of the NBN's targets. However, Telstra president Geoff Taylor and the rest of the telco team went to the Federal Court, arguing that they were in fact given "reasonable notice" of the decision. As an example of how much was not properly communicated, it was reported that an internet speed test was published "on the last day of the test":
It is also worth noting that the Federal Government had publicly indicated that it did not plan to build NBN Co's network as soon as possible and that it would instead look to provide "upgrades to existing telecommunications infrastructure". The same was said at the time that the Government was also investing $40 billion over the next decade on NBN Co.
This news broke the week before Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced that the Federal Government would not build the Government's first-ever nationwide national broadband network (NFBN) in 2016 and that it would instead build its own network to the NBN's standards. On September 14, 2017, the Turnbull Government said it was still committed to the rollout, even as it began to provide further details on its plans.
When asked as recently as November 2016 how it would continue to move forward with broadband deployment, then-Minister for Communications Stephen Conroy said that the Government would use its existing investment in the network to implement further upgrades in a "steady and predictable fashion". He was clear that "We will not deploy as fast as the NBN needs to" “ again, this is an acknowledgement of the Government's need to continue building the network. Conroy later explained that they were still focusing on the next set of challenges that existed with its rollout and were not looking to address other issues.
This was, however, before the Government released its 2018 Strategic Framework for NBN Co in August 2017. In that document, the Coalition promised that, while NBN Co would deliver "up to 1 Gbps of service" by 2018, they would still be committed to NBN Co's existing investments in the network. This was also confirmed on September 30, 2017 in a new "Roadmap and Performance Indicators" document released by NBN Co. It was not until September 24 that NBN Co released its own 2017 broadban

Pearce wants to play city country, he wants to have the best players in the league. He doesn't have to make the tough calls. He doesn't have to make the decisions that you are seeing now. He does them and he says, 'We aren't going to have a decision made until July and July is when we make our decisions.' "
Cortez was not on the verge of signing a new deal when he and his agent, Mike McCartney, reached out to the Knicks, a league source confirmed. The next week, Cortez visited Knicks headquarters in Manhattan to meet with owner James Dolan, sources said. He was the first player in recent memory to visit, according to sources.
In addition to his contract extension, Cortez received a guaranteed contract extension through the 2021-22 season.
"I am not going to get involved in anything other than being a good role player for New York,'' said Cortez, who averaged 12.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per game for Arizona in 2011-12. "I am coming off of my fourth championship with that team and that's not gonna get lost on me. I will be back and I will be trying to help the team win and make sure the organization that I play for is successful."
Cortez will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and will have three weeks to match every offer sheet that appears to come from the Knicks.
Sources said the Knicks are intrigued by Cortez's versatility. He might have to wait a little while.
"I think it will work out,'' said one Eastern Conference executive who declined to be identified. "But it is a situation that is being put together and it could not happen sooner.''
While the Knicks have had success with two big men and a small forward, it will be the addition of two versatile defenders that they look forward to most in the coming offseason.
The Knicks could target defensive ends Chris Johnson, Michael Oher, Ego Ferguson and J.R. Smith. They can also consider a swingman, perhaps Chandler Parson or T.J. McConnell, who fits well in the small forward position.
The Knicks would not be inclined to part with any of those players because of what sources called the franchise-friendly cap sheet that has remained relatively intact through five seasons. But if that means letting Cortez go and spending less on other positions or playing guard or forward, well, that's what players around the league do.
While the Knicks had talked to other teams about Cortez, sources said that the talks never produced a resolution.
Cortez was the sixth player on an offer sheet from the Lakers of former Lakers guard Steve Nash. The Lakers traded the two-time All-Sta |
