Okay, that explains the PON debate much more clearly than anything 
I'd seen previously, thanks.  I should obviously follow Simon 
Hackett's posting more closely.

Is there any chance of deflecting Malcolm Turnbull away from the 
'destroy the NBN' agenda / poison-pill that Abbott gave him, towards 
the 'many PONs anti-competitive / few PONs good' argument?

It ought to appeal to the Lib Party (less government, more business), 
but also to a person who made a lot of his money in 
telecomms-but-not-Telstra.
