Sorry, I got side-tracked after that! I should have added that the business of providing higher-level application services such as VoIP, email, media, etc. was far better separated from the NBN's low-level transport services. Hence accounts with several competing providers of email or VoIP (say) could be active concurrently, with no possibility of being locked-in to a single provider at the transport level. Or that's my understanding... David L. _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
