As for HC post-politics, she might just choose to retire to the feminist lesbian wicca orgy that Wishart fantasises about when he jacks off every night.
You just made me think a bad thing about possum fat. Eeew.

Matthew: If networks are always low risk, what about Iridium, or Telecom's CDMA white elephant. Both of those work fine, but failed to meet business expectations.
Iridium has so much wrong with it, including horrifying compression, 10 kilobit data transmission rates, call rates of up to $US14 a minute and, these days, no consumer devices available at retail.
I don't think it's fair to compare the proven, long-lived and scalable technology of fibre-optic networks with that.

I also wonder why it appears that PA is hosted in San Francisco, is it?
It is, along with a number of other sites built and hosted by CactusLab.
There's a simple reason for it: it's much cheaper (and simpler) to host your New Zealand website outside New Zealand.

Nice point from Gordon Campbell on Scoop:
Whenever the media whines in future about politicians refusing to answer their questions, Phil Goff’s interview on Alt TV is a perfect example of what can happen when they do : a beat-up of monumental proportions, not even remotely supported by what was said.

Craig Ranapia finds Fairfax's web showpiece getting itself scammed in the rush to run another delinquent youth story.

Labour did itself no favours three years back with a list being so heavily weighted towards incumbent insurance
My oath.

It being morning, I initially read this as a rabid jackal head, which was up the Labour Party.
It's like a Dad4Justice quote ...

I suspect that under Key (for the first term at least) the political mood of the country will move to the right and Goff will be the only chance Labour has to come back in 2011.
Another scenario is that Key proves to be hopelessly underdone, the media narrative turns to speculation about conflict between him and English and the public reacts poorly to spending cuts and remembers that it never like Tony Ryall in the first place.
I guess you might still want Goff in the leadership, but who would you put next to him? And could you decently promote the new talent quickly enough to show a fresh team?
I do think that if Labour doesn't gold-plate the list prospects of the likes of Grant Robertson, Phil Twyford, Moana Mackey etc, this year they're nuts.

The key part of the interview is here on YouTube. One does tend to wonder at the fuss...

Rather, how about setting requirements for a 5 year and 10 year schedule, e.g:
5yr: 75% with 20Mbit, 95% with 2M, everyone (including rural) with 512k
10yr: 75% with 100M, 95% with 20M, everyone with 2MBeen done. I haven't got time to go looking now, but from memory, it's relatively similar to your suggested schedule.
