<br>
"In a speech to the National Press Club today, Morrow said around 40 of the NBN's national 121 points of interconnect (PoI) are currently too expensive for smaller ISPs to reach.<br>
<br>
Morrow has accepted the NBN could have to play a role in forcing the hand of the market, or stepping up if it turns out no one else is willing to go to some locations."<br>
<br>
Now, I'm all for lower backhaul costs, but surely there would have been better ways to go about this than this sudden change of heart. It's like some bloke at the NBNco found an Econ 101 textbook, happened upon the definition of regulatory uncertainty and came up with the brilliant idea of field testing the concept.<br>
