[Chapter-delegates] ISOC-AU gives evidence to the Australian Senate

[Joly MacFie]

You certainly held your own, Tony!

I like the introduction to ISOC very much.

You struggled a bit with "the advantages to be gained from the
interoperability at layer 3"question, giving the answer that people
confuse applications with the transport - which to me didn't really
make it much clearer. In retrospect have you a better answer?

You then say "In other words, NBN Co. should install the equipment
that delivers to people internet protocol as well as the supporting
services that are available."

I'd like to see a well argued paper on this. Do you have one?
