National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Carolan Lennon:

No, because they are our poles. We have applied exactly the same model that we applied for the 300,000 if we wanted to build the national broadband plan. In a world where NBI is successful and goes on to build the network, it would migrate our copper customers onto a fibre network. We would lose that revenue as we would no longer have it to maintain our ducts and poles but we would get rental revenue from NBI and that is what would cover it. We would lose revenue in terms of copper rental but we gain revenue from renting our ducts and poles, again, all at regulated prices.
