[AusNOG] Pipe hiccup in Melbourne

Tue Feb 10 15:39:49 EST 2015

I suppose its probably struck people here before but doesn't it seem like a
waste of resources that companies/agencies need to tear up the earth/roads
every time a new company cable/conduit/pipe is installed?

Surely, councils could benefit by some sort of shared tunnel renting
scheme? I know in Sydney city there is tunnel space rented from Telstra etc.

I know, I know, fairy land thoughts thinking that people might be able to
work together to avoid additional work.
