I imagine it could involve building two-tree tier 1 datacenters, writing couple independent software implementations cross-checking each other, integration with legacy systems, a lot of automated testing, documentation, training.
Also big vendor prices are not exactly cheap or fair.
Look you "myki" on Wikipedia.
This sort of thing is normal here in Australia.
I assume it's corruption.
So frustrating that I'm paying for all these this shit.
You misspelled "NBN".
I doubt he got them mixed up; myki is a pre-loaded NFC smart card payment system for public transport in Victoria, Australia. go cards are another similar system.
NBN is a completely different beast, being an internet carrier and service wholesaler with ambitious and expensive last-mile infrastructure concerns, for one thing.
Correct. I didn't get the mixed up, was just bringing up another example of stupid spending we do here.
