EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

We need your help with a story this morning.

Ry Crozier has noted an interesting clause within the proposed new wholesale contracts service providers will be asked to sign with NBN Co.

To me, the clause clearly states that retail service providers will not be permitted to blame or criticise NBN Co over any issues with the network. I can't conceive of any other interpretation.

But NBN Co says that isn't the case. Take a look at today's story and let us know your opinion.

We know customers are often contractually not permitted to criticise their outsourced IT partner, which allows for rot to set in. When your supplier is the government, that would be an even greater cause for concern.

FEATURED COMMENT

"I like the idea too. But the cynic in me thinks this will just give banks another reason to hike fee's. Despite the fact, going by their released profit takings, that they could easily afford such a transition. And let's be realistic here, if there are any bank's that can afford to do this, it's our mob.. Bloody robbers :) "
