[AusNOG] Screw the NBN, says TPG: We’ll do our own FTTB

[Robert Hudson]

Of course it has an impact on the NBN. The NBNs price model is, amongst
other things, dependant on scale and the number of premises connected.
Reduce that number by a few million, and the per-port price will rise
significantly, and those in less profitable areas ("the bush" as an
example), won't have their pricing subsidised by the commercially lucrative
connections (in "the city)".
