Hi Matt,

I support First Path having access. I would suggest you are best placed to negotiate.

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.

Delaying their build as they pass our place on the way up William Street may cause them to simply overlook us.

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.

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.
