[20:12] <ajmitch> morning
[20:27] <ajmitch> interesting news from telstraclear, "no demand" for high-speed broadband in wellington & christchurch
[20:31] <ibeardslee> they are having a cry over not getting any ufb project contracts
[20:32] <ajmitch> it would cut into their margins a bit, when it eventually gets rolled out
[20:32] <ibeardslee> plenty of demand for it, just that they can't be arsed peering properly
[20:33] <ajmitch> I wonder if there'll be any way we can keep an eye on UFB progress around the country
[20:36] <ibeardslee> but the reality is that it is still at the chicken and egg stage
[20:38] <ajmitch> right, which is why the government is saying they want to fund the rollout, to get some of that going
[20:45]  * ibeardslee looks forward to the day when free national data is the norm (again)
[20:45] <ajmitch> it'd be nice
[20:46] <ajmitch> do you know if any peering requirements are built into the UFB project?
[20:46] <ajmitch> or if it'll remain with the big players screwing everyone else?
[20:51] <ibeardslee> I don't know either way .. do you want the optimistic or pessimistic opinion?
[20:51] <ajmitch> the pessimistic one is probably more likely :)
[20:57] <ibeardslee> yeah :(
[20:58] <Atamira> good morning
