15 With the current economic climate it will mean jobs for a lot of
people, especially people who have experience building networks...:)

I hear government jobs have good perks...:)

	In response to 14.

	I think that we will need to look at our own staff... they are
going to want a lot of people and they will put out some pretty tempting
offers I am sure.

	13. Who is going to peer with them? Its great having a super
fast peer-to-peer network, But I'm pretty sure Telstra won't be
impressed

	14. Where are they going to get outstanding staff that really
know their stuff?

	OK all,

	I realise this morning is going to be a huge debate about what
the government has announced, but... in my opinion - Why is it bad?

	1.	The legislative/legal issues for a Federal government
company will be far less than any private company 
	2.	The government would unlikely ever do retail (Rudd
states that now) 
	3.	It would be safe to assume that everyone would have fair
and equal access - it would be hard for them not to do it 
	4.	They are unlikely to wholesale it themselves, but will
most likely assign a few agents who buy large access to the NBN and
resell it downstream (my opinion only) 
	5.	Pricing should be better than any private company doing
it 
	6.	They are unlikely to have major financial issues that
the government can't bail them out of by raising our taxes ;-) 
	7.	They say they will maintain a controlling interest - we
can only assume that will stay around for a while 
	8.	I'd like to see Telstra try to refuse the government
access to exchanges - high court here we come! 
	9.	Honestly, it makes me feel more comfortable having the
government in charge 
	10.	It is going to create a massive amount of IT jobs - a
bunch of us here will probably end up working there 
	11.	They won't lay the fibre themselves - I see a LOT of
work for those that do - it probably won't go to one company - this
could make Pipe, Nextgen and others very happy as they spread the work
around 
	12.	Anyone want to add more?
