[AusNOG] "NBN Co to reserve data port for government"

[Joseph Goldman]

I doubt they would let any of the users equipment mix in such a way. It 
would be specifically designed, remote managed CPE's for specific 
functions. If it requires your personal devices to be used on it they'd 
likely ask you to connect to it for that time you need to utilise it.

Hell, I wouldn't be suprised if they end up multi-casting FTA TV down 
it, giving a set top box to deliver it via NBN, then eventually sell off 
the TV frequencies for a good pay-packet.
