[AusNOG] NBN Co Aggregation advice

[Chris Gibbs]

Hi Mark,

Yes, that is how typical Council's operate.

We on the other hand like do things a little differently.

We have operated a licensed microwave WAN for our remote sites and other interested parties for the last 7 years.

With the NBN Co rollout, we see this as a prime opportunity to increase the services offered.

So as of a couple of weeks ago, Gosford City Council is now a licensed Carrier and hopefully signing WBA shortly.

Cheers,

Chris Gibbs

As Chris's email address is from Gosford City council, aren't they supposed to be a customer of an RSP, not directly NBNco?
