Internode's Hackett

Internode boss Simon Hackett has delivered a heavy critique the costing model proposed for the National Broadband Network, stating that small ISPs will be all however wiped out in accordance with the current NBN arrangements.

"At 10,000 clients, it's insane to connect these clients to your network...if you drill in a bit, the same thing [will happen for ISPs with] 10,000 to 100,000 clients."

Hackett said hundreds of ISPs will be affected by the 250,000 customer business model, with only five ISPs being able to meet this number at a national level.

Hackett's insights come as shadow communications minister, Malcolm Turnbull, previously this week warned that NBN Co will be given "enormous power" in accordance with amendments to key legislation passed in the Senate late Friday.
