      <div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thanks - I've been fortunate
          enough to have a very eager partner who does the majority of
          the Telstra pillar spotting on Google Street View.   He does
          amazing stuff there too!</span></div>
      <div><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br>
        </span></div>
      <div><span style="font-size: 12px;">In the majority of cases, the
          FTTN rollout will consist of placing a node as close to an
          existing Telstra DA pillar as possible, but also adjacent to
          power supplies.  It's the way that the Umina Beach trial is
          done, and it's what's been indicated by NBN Co to date.  This
          way, the node is able to cross connect with <i>all</i> the
          premises within a DA.</span></div>
      <div><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br>
        </span></div>
      <div><span style="font-size: 12px;">It won't be easy to move the
          node closer to more premises as you'd want to cross connect on
          a point where the distribution cable is (to maximise the
          number of premises serviceable).  You'd also need to unbundle
          the cable and erect some form of pillar next to it to cross
          connect to.  It'll be a major headache and a huge cost just to
          bump the statistics up a notch or so.  With FTTdp still some
          years away, they might just leave it till then to upgrade the
          edge properties so they can cross the 25Mbps
          Government-mandated threshold.</span></div>
      <div><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br>
        </span></div>
      <div><span style="font-size: 12px;">I've put some questions
          through about how RIMs/Top Hats - but since they are
          distinctly separate networks (one's Telstra's and the other's
          NBN Co's) - I can only see them placing another node adjacent
          to those existing cabinets and cross connecting from there.</span></div>

                I'm very impressed with your site, please keep up the
