[AusNOG] NBN Legislation

[Grahame Lynch]

Matthew

The legislation seemingly applies to any form of network upgrade, not just
the "major" ones. So you might have upgraded to 3.0 but still be recording
less than 25Mbps committed information rate or whatever measure they choose
to use but then implement a new iteration of the standard (for example,
upgraded channel bonding or node splicing to accomodate growth) and then be
captured by the clause.
That's the problem with this: too broad.
