Why do that NBNCo?... just go back to the original PoI design and make it easier/cheaper rather than 7000 poi's... THAT is why it is expensive for the smaller guys.... shebus.

C'mon... who is advising these guys... do we have a new decent Comms Minister we can appear for sanity to?

Not content with their monopoly position and the mess they made so far, the NBNco now wants to compete for POI backhaul with it's own customers too.

"In a speech to the National Press Club today, Morrow said around 40 of the NBN's national 121 points of interconnect (PoI) are currently too expensive for smaller ISPs to reach.

Morrow has accepted the NBN could have to play a role in forcing the hand of the market, or stepping up if it turns out no one else is willing to go to some locations."

Now, I'm all for lower backhaul costs, but surely there would have been better ways to go about this than this sudden change of heart. It's like some bloke at the NBNco found an Econ 101 textbook, happened upon the definition of regulatory uncertainty and came up with the brilliant idea of field testing the concept.
