[AusNOG] ALERT: Aust Govt will build National Broadband Network, no company will be awarded the tender.

[Matthew Moyle-Croft]

I don't know they will nec.

I think that it's more likely to be bought by superfunds looking for a  
nice, regulated asset with guaranteed returns than a telco.

(I doubt, given TLS's statements recently that the return on funds  
will look right for them).
