[AusNOG] Aus Industry Congratulations Email

[paul+ausnog at oxygennetworks.com.au]

It's also interesting to see how many people didn't apply for funding or weren't approved.
 
Supposedly they reckon there were about 400 ISP's, not that they actually really know which I think it crazy, but out of those 400 there are only 180 approved funding requests, so what happened to the other 220 ISP's ?
 
I know we didn't even both applying, so is that the attitude that many others have taken or have 220 odd ISP's been rejected in the funding provided ?
 
Regards
Paul

I thought we asked for a lot of money.... $30k
 
Anyone other than the big 4 networks asking for more than $100k I hope you get audited and charged with fraud.
 
I have lost a lot of respect for some networks operators and people on this list after seeing how much they have requested.

Completely.  Hopefully some auditing to come.

Looking at this list and knowing the size of some of these networks first hand, I'm completely speechless..... Hookers and blow for some companies this week I'd say!

Why?  Gov't offers money, you don't turn it down.  May as well wet your beak
properly, might be a while before you get another shot.
