The NBN Co, the company building Australia's national broadband network, has commenced a trial of fibre to the distribution point (FttDP) in the Melbourne suburb of Coburg.

They have made a mess of a vital national infrastructure project but one can't help having pity for the poor staff at the NBN Co to some extent. Week in and week out, they have to come up with something or the other to distract the attention of the public from the mess that they have created.

A senior network engineering expert has slammed the NBN Co for the "growing mess" in the rollout of the national broadband network and said it was high time for the top management to stop blaming others and to work to improve consumer satisfaction.
