[AusNOG] Telstra Internet & BGP

[Adam Griffiths]

Matt,

Telstra Internet is certainly still here, and there's certainly a lot
of active development both on the underlying platforms and the systems
that are used to manage it's services (both customer facing and
internal).

I'll get one of my team to contact you off-list.

Best Regards,

Adam Griffiths
