It has always been clear that rural NZ was an afterthought by Mr Joyce and that the $300M funding was woefully inadequate, leading to the conclusion that rural broadband is not being taken seriously by the government.

One of the real tragedies of this is that the lack of broadband to so many schools will likely deter teachers from going to remote country schools so kids in our rural areas get a double whammie.
