Taken from 'IT News' is this snippet from a report posted on the 11th of August, 2009:
Telstra has confirmed that opening wholesale access to its Velocity fibre network in new housing estates was "an option going forward".
But the carrier said it would only happen if the rest of the industry committed to the same open access arrangements, Telstra's executive director of network and technology Michael Lawrey suggested to a gathering in Sydney today.
I have to admit that I bought into a Telstra Velocity Estate without realising that I would be locked into Telstra only products. Although, both Rayleen and i are so happy with the block that we bought, I think I would have still gone ahead and purchased.
