Last time i heard anything we were going to have 200+ POIs (that may have changed I've been busy lately), so, Do I think a content provider will want to put 200 high-speed streaming servers into Australia, no, not really.

Would they do it to one or two POIs as a trial, maybe, but they could do that exact trial in the Verizon FIOS regions of the US East Coast. 

So, yeah maybe it would be possible someone sends us some servers, but I wouldn't build the network in the hope :-) 

But as Bev says, we could be wrong (partially or entirely)
