[AusNOG] Telstra customer routers contact

[Russell Langton]

Hi Andrew,

I believe these Telstra modems are LIPD class license section 60 devices
which allows 5725-5850 Ghz as they are most
likey non-managed/residential services.
If you believe these are operating in error or outside the ACMA guidelines,
Please flick me a email directly and I'll put you in contact with our
gateways team and the ACMA

Cheers,
