[AusNOG] Megaport Suspends Accepting New Orders in PIPE DC's

[Jake Anderson]

You will probably find that the argument is made from TPG that as no 
*humans* "occupy" that space it is not occupied any more than you 
"occupy" your post office box.

Not saying i agree, but that would likely be the crux of their argument.

I hope that the TIO side with megaport as the intent of the act is to 
provide customers with ready access to telecoms in the face of opposing 
building owners.
The customers not living/working there being beside the point.

Has anybody used this part of the act to get stuff run to equipment?
IE mobile phone antenna, or weather station or whatever?
