[200William-EC SP67851] First Path Fiber Installation

[Matt Perkins]

Hello All,
  First of again I would like to declare my conflict of interest here. I 
have an interest in this service being installed and as such will 
abstain from voting on this EC matter.

As I mentioned in a previous email a Licensed telecommunication carrier 
First Path requested "land access" to install telecommunications 
equipment in our building for the purpose of providing high speed NBN 
style broadband to it's occupants. They have completed a site survey and 
would like to commence construction.  To do so they are seeking approval 
to commence. Note that under the telecommunications act we have no right 
to refuse this process. If we do we will only delay the install of 
services in the building. But ultimately it will not be stopped.

I am seeking the EC's approval to allow First path to commence 
construction. This will simply speed up the process and allow them to 
proceed on our terms an a timely manner. If we refuse it's likely we 
will be forced to comply by Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman and 
could incur legal costs.

* If we do agree First Path's resellers will be able to provide 
broadband into tenants inside the building at speeds between 20M/bit and 
10,000M/bit as required.
* We are not forced into one carrier. Occupiers of the building are 
still free to use any Teleco they wish. They can stay with Telstra or 
whoever.
* First path are not asking for any money from the building for the 
install they are doing it for free.

It's also worth nothing that a build like this will cost FP around $20k 
We are a very small building and the fact that they are making an offer 
to bring us up to NBN standards today for free is a good one. Delaying 
their build as they pass our place on the way up William Street may 
cause them to simply overlook us.

If we have consensus that the build should continue I will instruct 
George to sign construction from and the build will commence. It's very 
low impact and it's doubtful anyone will even notice it's happening. 
Once complete I can provide some names of some first path ISP's that can 
provide services inside the building if they are wanted.


Attached is some documentation from First Path Including a 
comprehensive  construction report. I note they are building to Level 7 
So as to provide enough space for the install. This will pass all of our 
floors with fiber. A Massive bonus with the new Governments NBN now 
mostly consisting of fiber to the node.  It might be a good selling 
point for the building to offer Fiber connect broadband as an option. 
When most are stuck on the old copper network.

Im happy to answer any questions anyone may have.

Matt.
