<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'>Hey all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'>Just a quick question. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'>At the moment there is a lot of
talk of NBN and whether they are going to deliver Layer 2 or Layer 3 services.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'>I am a little confused about
what is meant by that. In that as ISP’s, I would assume that we
would only want Layer 2 services from them? Just in kind of a DSL
Wholesale/Ethernet wholesale/etc situation that we already have.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'>Most of our ISP customers would
be happy if the NBN operated just like the current wholesale models out there
at the moment. Little ISP calls his aggregator and says he wants a NBN
VLAN to this address which they get from NBNCo (if directly if you are big enough
and can afford to interconnect yourself), which is turned on and presented at
an aggregation port... very much like taking wholesale ethernet from Pipe, Nextgen,
Telstra and others today.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'>This makes sense to me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'>But there is a bunch of voices
saying they want the NBN Co to do Layer 3... and I am not quite sure what is
meant by that? Users buy bandwidth off the NBN Co? Turning them into a
retail ISP?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'>If this seems like a stupid
question, I am sorry about that... but there are some voices who have access to
presenting their views and are doing so about NBN should be doing Layer 3...
and I am trying to find some understanding about what is actually being
suggested.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
