Agree and I worked at NBN Co for a while on the internal IT side. It's full of people from other telcos all trying to replicate what they had at their previous companies.

Also on the upside, it will create more jobs when they have to re-mediate the mess they are currently implementing. Better than the dole. -- Regards brd Bernard Robertson-Dunn Sydney Australia email: [email protected] web: www.drbrd.com web: www.problemsfirst.com Blog: www.problemsfirst.com/blog _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
