[AusNOG] Carrier Licensing Changes - Residential and small business customers

[Terry Sweetser (SkyMesh CTO)]

If you're able to bill your retail clients from a separate ABN, you're 
clear.

Simply put:  they can't challenge the conflict of interest when the same 
person is the director/sole-trader on the 2+ business entities.

No court will tolerate ASIC or ACCC the trying to split a small business 
down the middle, when the split is 1 person.

Can you image the order:  don't talk to yourself about half of your 
business when conducting the other half?
