Former Liberal leader Malcolm Turnbull and freedom of communication led coalition , which is expected to vote on runaway winner spokesman , enterprises and the public likes .
A former lawyer , Turnbull technology earned his stripes as a major investor and chairman of the board , Internet service providers , becoming the first Australian tech stocks in 1996, the Nasdaq Listing OzEmail.
He was named the 197 on the Business Review Weekly (BRW) Australia's rich list , with A 1.86 billion in 2010 , although Turnbull denied BRW figures .
More than his successor, Albert leftist leader , Malcolm Turnbull in the polls consistently selected as the nation's preferred leader of the right wing of his boss , his appeal extends swing voters.
Turnbull cheaper, slower alternative to the current government's $ 34 billion National Broadband Network (NBN), but significantly less popular.
"They're trying to do is provide us with a bag of sweets ( candy ) , we can do it cheaper and faster , but we have really been sold lemons, " says a Melbourne RMIT University lecturer Mike Gray telecommunications Gori .
Turnbull 's plan will stop at current " rollout of fiber - to - place network , Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has committed to provide Internet speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps) to 93% of places in Australia , of which 850 million yuan , in 2021 .
In June this year , the delay means that only 163,500 premises have been connected to the network , which requires a fiber optic cable directly to homes and businesses . If completed, the network will be one of the most advanced in the world .
Turnbull has proposed a $ 30 billion dollars in fiber-to- peer network . Under the plan, the high-speed fiber to the street "nodes" , but ultimately to homes and businesses will rely on TELSTRA CORP LTD aging copper wire connections , the download speed is much slower than fiber .
The Liberal Party said that this approach will provide a minimum of 25 Mbps , and 50 Mbps in 2016 of the " family" , the vast majority of 2019 .
The remaining two sides plan to remote locations via satellite and fixed wireless services.

" In the 1990s and early 2000s Internet browsing service , " he said. "Today and in the future years of service , telemedicine, remote collaboration , telecommunications , blended education ."
Turnbull said very little meaning, to invest in a system, the technology of the future may improve .
"You do not want to be saying ' I want to invest huge sums of money for the 20 years, so in today's technology, on the other hand , if you can meet today's needs for the foreseeable future , then 20 years of technology , to meet the 20-year demand, therefore, "he told Reuters launch fiber to the node's service, in Sydney apartment building .
"Great good"
Turnbull argued that their own methods to bring a cost of $ 200 per apartment download speeds of up to 100 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 40Mbps, the ratio of estimated à5000 dollar bill every apartment Labor fiber - to - the - premises .
Recognized the opposition coalition has been working to save costs, both in dollars and time, the new government's first 100 days of planned changes .
But Turnbull faces uphill trek , a possible expensive and may be lengthy , financial renegotiate with Telstra to use copper wires to replace a $ 1.1 billion deal , the company reached with the Government of its network switching.
He also faces in his own party 's opposition. As a leader was overthrown by Abbott , Turnbull 's leftist views subjects ranging from gay marriage a republic is at odds with the controlling hard- Right .
Nevertheless, Turnbull believe that many people get a version of the NBN, even truncated , back on the table , his boss promised last ditch " white elephant ."
"We found that our focus group research campaign , NBN began to come through a little bit of positive labor rights in this campaign , said:" pollster John Scales JWS Research . " Liberals picked up on this and you've seen more Turnbull 's campaign in recent weeks , some interest in trying to be negative , positive ."
June AFR / Nielsen survey , 62% of voters preferred Turnbull , whose electorate includes some densely populated cities of Sydney 's most exclusive harbor-side suburbs , as a leader , Abbott was 32%.
During the campaign train ride in Sydney recently to chat with Reuters was interrupted and photographs of some good-hearted people seeking fans.
In business circles , his name crops repeated, especially in the technology sector , an area linked to pick up some of the slack from the decline of the Australian mining boom .
" Turnbull is a big plus, " Nicky · Scevac technology startup venture capital start-up companies Blackbird directors in a recent interview.
But his real test - came a final NBN plan , tasty business and his peers - still to come
