The plans currently being offered in Tasmania are residential plans, and 
it's not very likely that your average home owner is going to have a HD 
Telepresence system in their house.

Other FTTH networks do offer symmetrical business services (and you'd 
have to assume that NBN would be thinking in that space also).
