Carlos Slim sees a good wireless network is a preferred solution.
Being the world's richest man may never be enough money, and so one has to ask what is the motivation for the Brazilian communications guru, Carlos Slims, recent visit to Australia, particularly in the light of the re-election of the Labor Federal Governments and their commitment to build a 43 billion dollar broadband network, certainly he is not here for his health?
Mr Slim says that Australia is paying too much for a national broadband network.
"Is not necessary to invest so much money because technology is changing every time. I think to connect, seven thousand (dollars) per house is too much," he said. Mr Slim says fibre is extremely important but so is mobile capacity. "You need to have a good network of wireless, that you can connect it with thousand of places with wi fi service," he said.
Perhaps he would like to increase his estimated his $US55 billion dollars of worth of assets and has some designs on trying to sell Australia a communications system of his own? If the statement he has made above is any sort of an indicator, it would seem that he would be able to do so for a lot less than the amount the government has accosted the project at their estimated $41.6 billion.
But that raises the question of cost and if we were to suppose that Slim were able to come into this project and build a broadband network for less than the cost mentioned above why would the Federal Government - or anyone for that matter - want to squander unnecessary funds on a project when it could be done a lot cheaper than the estimated cost, one that our Mr Slim may have on his mind to offer for sale to Australia, that is the burning question?
There may be only one answer to a question of that magnitude and that this is not about broadband at all and that there is a lot more involved with this than the simple building of a fibre optic broadband network. Why then this expense and what is this really all about?
As the suggested system seems to be the most stable and reliable personally l think the planners behind the world government see fibre optic cable as the best way to go to put into place the infrastructure for the Mark of the Beast money system for buying and selling involving a microchip implant under the skin.
Because the Australian economy is supposedly going so well it may be that we have been chosen to build the first ever system that is entirely suited to the system of buying and selling, mentioned above involving the implant?
Now here is the verse that describes the Mark of the Beast; notice that the prophet uses the term mark. When he was shown the what to write down by the angels and he saw the microchip he did not know what he was looking at and so he simply called it a mark.
Revelation Chapter 13
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
There are other considerations to be taken into account other than the obvious cost involved with the construction of a national broadband network, such as the probability of adverse weather conditions coming into play should we happen to become entirely reliant on satellites and Hi Fi.
Accordingly as this system involves buying and selling, or the economy of the nation, there must be a system that is put into place that will last the test of time and stand up against all outside influences and that seems to be the only reason that l can personally think of to spend the amount of money involved.
