[AusNOG] Telstra 'Corporate' contact

[Damian Ivereigh]

I think Telstra's biggest competitor is their own products (and their 
internal departments) - they don't want their cheaper SMB products to 
compete with their more expensive "corporate" grade products, so I'm 
pretty sure they arbitrarily restrict features that higher end clients 
would likely use, though may also be about having the staff on hand in 
the various areas to support it.
