[AusNOG] FirstPath Announcement - Residential End User Superfast Services

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hi all,

In another excellent announcement for the ISP/wholesale/tier2,3,4 industry,
FirstPath has branched out into Residential buildings.

I'm rather excited by the FirstPath, Opticomm, TPG (coming), NBNCo DOCSIS
options that are coming to the wholesale space... I think these carriers
are going to enable smaller boutique providers (as well as the larger) to
compete and offer great services to residential customers.

I congratulate FirstPath in this announcement and looking forward to
trailing their products and onboarding process in the next couple of
weeks... I will report to all how it goes.
