This is bad people...

If we Let The Telco's get away with this one, we'll all have Fibre to
the home connected to .... Telstra.

Anyone else see anything wrong with that long term plan?

Leighton's undersea cable plans on a knife edge 

Leighton Holdings submarine cable connection between Perth and Singapore
is reportedly on shaky ground as it still looks to entice major telcos
to come onboard as customers. The 4,800 kilometre submarine cable system
is being built by Australian Submarine Cable (ACS), a subsidiary of
Leighton, which announced its plans in May last year. However, since
then it has failed to grab the attention of any telcos that might be
interested in becoming a customer. What's worse is that a number of them
have told The Australian Financial Review that they are far more
inclined to latch on the network being built by Huawei
Technologies-backed ASSC-1 Communications Group. ASSC-1 has already
bagged Telstra as a foundation customer and if the likes of iiNet and
Amcom follow suit then it could be curtains for the Leighton
Communications Australia-Singapore Cable./Quote
