[AusNOG] Telstra and NBN co sign Financial heads of agreement.

[Tony]

Not blaming you Kai, but how misleading is that URL and even the page title when you click on the link.

"NBN Co to buy Telstra for 11 billion"

Wouldn't any normal person reading that title think (as the title implies) that NBN Co is outright purchasing Telstra for $11b ? (which would be a bargain if they did!) 

Even the full story title on the page is:

"NBN Co to buy Telstra network for 11 billion"

Which is not a whole lot closer to the truth ?

Yeah I get that journalists need to sensationalise things to manipulate people to read the stories, but those headlines just seem to be plain wrong ?!
