  Both Optus and Telstra gave up after the rules changed and it was not as easy to roll-out cable. 


  That is no the reason why.  It had absolutely nothing to do with the low impact changes.  It came down to the business case.  Telstra only build HFC as a market protection strategy.  Telstra started paying their contrators massive money to build it out which meant Optus had to pay massive prices for labour.  Then Telstra offered bundled services and the like which meant Optus was flat out getting 30% market share.  Optus realised the business case was gone and stopped deploying.  Then so did telstra.     I could go on.
