    Not the real problem they'll face...

    The real problem for them is going to be getting telecommunications approval to actually run their own communications network.

    Don't forget that Internode set up Agile to do (close to) this down the length of the "Limestone Coast" as it is now called. That project was pretty much 100% in competition with all the then Telcos.

    So there is hope!
