	Penny Wolf @PennyWolf	Congrats to our 24 finalists in the @iTnews_au #benchmarks2016 awards. A fabulous night

	Wolf Cocklin @wolfcat	So NBNco might be overbuilding some of the Optus HFC with Telstra HFC so that it can be overbuilt later with fibre... WTF.

	Phillip Smith @fukawi2	Who would have thought? Oh, everyone MT @iTnews_au: NBN considering overbuilding dodgy $800m Optus cable: Finds network not fit for purpose.

	Allie Coyne @alliecoyne	Conroy says Optus is laughing all the way to the bank. Reckons everyone but Turnbull knew the network wasn't fit for purpose.

	Timothy N @thebookfreak58	@alliecoyne Optus said it was busted in their submission to ACCC to approve first $800mil deal back in 2012 (or 2013) to shutdown

	Leslie Nassar @leslienassar	So which telco / politician-turned-lobbyist employer's payday is this now? #hfc

	A Very Merry Gordy @GordyPls	Imagine if TfN rolled out a mixed technology Opal network by utilising existing paper ticket machines where it was cost effective.
