[AusNOG] Breaking News from Commsday re NBNCo

[Damian Guppy]

Estimates are some time in the new year before NBNco starts going in the
new direction. At the press conference today Turnbull stated that before
any changes are made a 60 day strategic review needs to take place, and
before that can happen a new board needs to be selected.

Also minorly interesting was that Turnbull seemed to take a step back from
his hard line VDSL stance, simply saying that they would pick the best
technology to meet their goals of faster cheaper broadband rollout.
