Prime Minister Julia Gillard has twice failed to put a number on how many homes will be connected to the national broadband network over the next three years. Ms Gillard's campaigning in Townsville in north Queensland today, where she's marked the start of the $43b network's construction on mainland Australia. Construction in Townsville will take about 12 weeks and the city will be one of five sites around Australia to get first access to the network. Ms Gillard's boasted the superfast network will be capable of speeds one thousand times faster than many people experience today. But she twice referred reporters to the NBN Co website when asked how many homes would be connected to the network in the next three years and wouldn't say how much it would cost.
