[AusNOG] Simon Hackett's presentation from Comms Day yesterday - NBN fibre on copper prices

[Brad Gould]

The original NBN Tas was build and operated by a subcontractor before 
NBN had nailed down the "proper" hardware vendor, or had anyone to 
operate a network.

It was built to get experience in the fibre/civil construction, the 
hardware installed was used only because the contractor/operator had NEC 
gear in use on their other networks.  It was also a political win for 
NBNCo because they could proudly connect customers.

They were always going to replace the hardware.
