NBN Co, the company building the $36 billion national broadband network (NBN) in Australia, has been forced to redesign the project after the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission rejected its plan for just 14 points of interconnect (POIs) -- located in capital cities. The broadband provider will now have to offer Internet service providers (ISPs) about 120 places to connect to the network. Industry analysts, however, are unsure how the large telcos – including Telstra, Optus and AAPT – will react, given they lobbied for between 200 and 400 POIs.
