Under the telecommunications act you can not refuse a licensed carrier access to the building for the purpose of providing telecommunications infastructure. We would simply spend thounds of dollars in legal fees for nothing. Dont get confused here dont listen to people who think they know. There wrong. I do this to building owners every day that's why we have solicitors on staff.

If they are not providing vectored VDSL this is likely not what they are after in any case. Its more likely they just want to provide VDSL on the internal cable which co-habits with other services just fine. That is everyone can continue doing what they are doing now. Nothing will change just people in the building will have access to better services at cheaper prices if they want to do so. If not then no fowl.

I have on three occasions requested a written statement that they would not have exclusive use on the comms pipe into the building. To date I have received more phones without anything in writing up to yesterday which still is vague. However they are happy to meet.

>> I thought to let you know that TPG are currently at legal stages with another Strata Plan we manage. At this particular Strata Plan, TPG believe that under the telecommunications Act they are able to have exclusive use on the pipe into the Strata Plan. This therefore does not give residents or owners the option of other providers.

>> Hi George,
>>
>> A very good day to you. My name is James Ho & I am a colleague of Joy operating in the PIPE fibre infrastructure team. We would like to thank you for your speedy responses below.
>>
>> Your query was: “how many telcom providers including TPG will be able to use the pipe equipment coming into the building?”
>>
>> · Primary User –TPG Subscribers
>> This equipment is installed on behalf of TPG, therefore the primary telecom provider using this equipment will be TPG & the beneficiaries being TPG subscribers. Non-TPG subscribers can benefit from the FTTB infrastructure if they wish to upgrade & switch over to TPG as their service provider.
>> · Other Carriers
>> Our chairman has announced that “wholesale access” will be open to other carriers, upon commercial arrangements between carriers.
>>
>>
>> We are looking to perform a quick site survey (around 30 mins) on the building to determine the location of the telecommunication equipment & also as a feasibility study. As the equipment used in this exercise is very expensive, we wish to ensure that any installation activity carried out for the benefit of our subscribers (>6 in this building) can be effected in an economic manner. Inherent building structural issues/unsolvable duct problems could potentially invalidate the exercise.
>>
>> We wish not to waste the ECs time on a proposal that is not feasible, nor spend a large capital expenditure on hauling fibre from the road only to find that the installation cannot be performed. Also a site survey will help us to determine how best to optimize the installation process for maximum equipment functionality.
>>
>> Perhaps we could get in touch sometime today or tomorrow for a quick discussion. We believe the site survey/feasibility study will save both parties time & resources moving forward. Our proposed site survey date for this building is 9am, next week Friday, 9th May 2014.
>>
>> Thank you & have a great day.

>> Dear George,
>>
>>
>> Introduction
>> In conjunction with our exercise of upgrading & maintaining communication equipment across Woolloomooloo, PIPE Networks have been assigned to install new fibre optic infrastructure on behalf of TPG.
>> TPG is a telecommunication service provider and plans to upgrade existing TPG customers within your building to high-speed fibre optic broadband at no cost.
>>
>>
>> Purpose
>> Following this, a quick site visit is required to determine how PIPE Networks will connect a new PIPE fibre cable into new PIPE equipment within the building main MDF room.
>>
>> We would like to formally make an appointment as per the details below:
>>
>>
>> Where: 200 WILLIAM ST WOOLLOOMOOLOO NSW 2011
>>
>>
>>
>> Areas:
>> Building MDF Room
>> Building Lead-in (where telecommunication cables enter the building through the street)
>> Cable Tray Route from lead-in entry to the MDF Room
>>
>>
>> Additional information about the installation
>>
>> No cost to the customer (Fully funded by PIPE)
>> Improvement on service fault recovery lead times.
>> Improved speeds as customers are migrated from traditional copper to a fibre network.
>> No interruption or impact to any other carrier services.
>> PIPE has rights under the Telecommunications Act 1997(Act) to inspect land & install a low-impact facility.
>>
>>
>> Follow-up after site visit
>> All diagrams and plans detailing the proposed installation works, will be submitted to you upon completion of the site survey via a LAAN (Land Access & Activity Notice) document, as per requirement of Schedule 3 of Telecommunications Act.
>>
>>
>> For your action
>> Following your email response, our contractor will contact you directly and arrange a suitable time & date for the site visit.
>>
>> We seek to ensure that the site survey will be carried out by our contractors in a diligent manner with proper scale photos and drawings.
