Too few players on NBN's level field? - Twisted Wire - Blogs - ZDNet Australia

Too few players on NBN's level field? - Twisted Wire - Blogs - ZDNet Australia: "Michael Malone, Simon Hackett and Mike Quigley discuss whether the structure of the National Broadband Network forced Internode's sale to iiNet.

Simon Hackett, the founder of Internode, has been saying for some time that very few companies will be able to afford the cost of providing national coverage with the NBN. It gets down to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's decision to overturn NBN Co's plans for just 14 points of interconnect. Instead, to protect the backhaul industry, the regulator insisted on 121 points on the new network, escalating the cost of providing true national coverage."
