As my eldest son would say - "cool story bro, needs more dragons."

Nice story, except in this case it wasn't Telstra that stalled the process. Telstra
did most of the heavy lifting technically
and were all in favour of publishing the revised code with VDSL2 in there, it was a
number of other carriers and CSPs that
did the stalling.
