<p class="MsoNormal">I agree in the sense that it's not feasible, or even desirable for the NBN to build modern, highly dense datacentres at each POI site. However there's also no reason to go to the complete opposite extreme and basically rule out the possibility
of anything but some basic transport equipment being installed within the POI as well, which from my understanding is all the current rules allow.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why not use a model where any access seeker can buy their rack space, buy their power, and then use that space and power in any way they see fit? As the POI sites are not purpose designed datacentres the power and space will more than likely
come at a premium price over a purpose designed facility, so will only be used when there is a clear benefit in doing so.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">You might find that power just isn't available. Most of the POIs are going to be inside Telstra exchanges where power isn't plentiful. (The whole POI inside an exchange is going to be very, very messy - can't wait to see Telstra come
and apply their crazy rules on fibre entering the exchanges ...).<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I said earlier - I don't see that many POIs will be interesting as meeting points. Most places will be in metro locations where hauling it back to an existing aggregation point will be cheaper than replicating network elements in a
POI.<o:p></o:p></p>
