[AusNOG] Belong - Powered by Telstra

[Skeeve Stevens]

Not meaning to stir up anything... but it has been an whispered rumour
amongst a few sectors (investing, SP, etc) that Telstra is looking to sell
off Bigpond.

They do say 'powered by Telstra' and not 'Powered by Bigpond', so many this
could be a strategic move of some sorts.
