2021-01-20 Thread Troy Kelly
I'm confused as to how FTTC would suffer more from lightning strike related issues than other ground conducting technologies? Is it something about the Blue Mountains in particular, or is this article rubbish? (Paywall, open in incognito if so inclined) https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/blue-

My understanding (which could well be misguided) was that not only would you have to move offshore - but you would also have to employ no Australian's at any point of your technical production line. The law an instruct any Australian national, anywhere, to comply and provide assistance. Is my
