Hi,

For starters, I will note that the NBN people have not had its operations group active on this list and would have loved to have seen that, I see that as a flaw (just like people keep on going on about lack of ‘business case’), they have not been open, but I can also see that as a result of the government taking control of an issue and the people working for said NBN Co being at the whim of the government, that is part of the cost of the government taking control of such an issue like this.

So, this comes down to - "they haven't asked me so I don't understand and feel left out"?

At a product and technical level we've got the other problem - they've been asking for meetings almost every week (feels like it - probably a couple of times a month at the moment) where we go through a whole range of things and they ask us our opinions on various options.   We've spent days going through this stuff to ensure it works for us and others as well.

Did you go along to any of their briefing sessons?  Have you read the bits on their website?  Have you called them and asked to have a chat if you're likely to be an RSP?   I can point you (offlist) to the right people if you want.

My experience so far has been people who have clue asking the right questions and being ready to listen to what we've got to say.   Who then think about it and come back with more questions and/or making sure they understand what we've said.
