For that matter, Australia as a whole--like some other low density areas like Alaska--actually has fairly concentrated population centers.

Yes, absolutely true. I think there’s something like 8M people just in NSW and the majority are Sydney.

Only trying to provide context for the economics of density in places like Singapore and the a Netherlands, not necessarily prove the opposite use case. I just wanted to highlight a contrasting factor that is very important for fiber and other high speed service viability. There are many others!

These criticisms are totally valid.
