Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

There has been much discussion about how Telstra might 'help' the NBN by contributing facilities such as ducts etc, but there has been little discussion about how the NBN might 'help' Telstra by giving it much higher bandwidth access to many more customers than it is has available today through any of its access networks.
