[AusNOG] [ISOC-AU-mems] Quigley announces architectural "stakein the ground"

[Matthew Moyle-Croft]

As long as the ONTs support battery monitoring remotely I think  
solutions can be found.

With such a mass market you'd hope that a few contracting firms would  
be able to do the battery maintenance at a fairly low cost ...

Let's face it, if we have change from $43b we could fit solar cells to  
each ONT and make it a green NBN :-)
