Tasmanian business figure is baying for blood as NBN takeup hits just 13 percent there.
Troy Harper, chairman of Tasmania's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is not a happy camper and has hit out at the broadband network, which is currently on a trial run in the state, claiming it is a political move and a classic example of "pork-barrelling."
Harper claims the NBN should have gone to the cities like Hobart and Launceston first, where the take-up rate would have been greatest.
He also used the opportunity to lash out at the previous Tasmanian premier, David Bartlett, branding the NBN trial as "the worst betrayal a state has seen in terms of a performance from a political leader."
