The NBN Co. struggles to get fiber to people's street. Less than 30% of the target properties are now expected to get fiber. They need to lend billions to complete this using "alternative materials" such as copper. Recently they gave up completely, bought AU$80,000 worth of copper and declared it to be good enough.

You could not make this stuff up.
