[AusNOG] NBN Co Aggregation advice

[Aaron Foote]

If you look at Sydney local councils covering an area with a radius of 10-20km then this would be silly.
If you look at regional areas - where they cover hundreds of kilometres and have to link up many remote offices with traditionally very poor infrastructure these councils have been forced to develop their own networking solutions.
Many regional councils have had very strong networking teams and infrastructure for many years - as a matter of necessity.

Just some background to consider In this debate.

One half of me says; "That's really innovative thinking. If if you can provide discounted services fetc. to local industry and boost their competitiveness without increasing tax burden on ratepayers then that's totally awesome."

The other half of me says; "What business does council have getting in to the network services game? Your paid to keep the sewage flowing and garbage off the streets, not spend tax dollars playing telco."

I'm genuinely interested to hear what services/infrastructure you guys intend to offer and how you see that playing out from a fee/reward point of view...
