Do you want them to ban Telstra from overbuilding you as well? Prior to
the NBN being a glimmer in Conroy's eye, if you built any kind of regional
Customer Access Network in an under-served area Telstra would come in and
try and steam roll you.

I'm sure there are a few people on this list that have seen that first
