The report substantially reflects implications in the original call for 
submissions. It ignores far too many of the points made against 
abolishing the USO for fixed lines. IMHO, suspicions that the decision 
was made - and the report largely written - before the inquiry are well 
founded; the Productivity Commission came up with the desired conclusions.
