Yes, this thread is an example of interacting over the internet ... and could be done quite adequately over a modem connection.
Not only is $40B a great deal of money, I don't trust the NBN any more than Telstra. We consistently see better prices than Telstra and better customer service than Telstra from every other ISP. Do we expect the NBN setup to be cost-effective? Or a white elephant like internet over cable TV? If the prices to customers are as they appear so far, few who have access will buy it anyhow.
