[AusNOG] OT: Apparently Brisbane wants to be first on NBN

[Paul Brooks]

With the head-end infrastructure already in place and a preexisting 
relationship with the citywide optical fibre carrier, I'd have thought 
if any capital city was to be first it would be Hobart, regardless of 
what the Brisbane pollies want.

In any case, Brisbane City Council is not a fan of a PON architecture!
