[AusNOG] NBN Approved Devices List

[Terry Sweetser]

To answer the "why so secret" question -- the WBA sets the legal 
framework between NBN(tm) and the RSP -- that includes making all 
interaction between RSP and NBN(tm) "commercial-in-confidence".

(Yes, it's unnecessary and counter-productive, if you want that changed: 
try join their working group for WBA `improvements' and see how much you 
get to say in a forum full of Telstra lawyers.)
