Deploying a 'superfast' national tail circuit network (i.e. the National Broadband Network) will highlight other bottlenecks in information flow that currently exist between voice and data service providers in Australia, unless those bottlenecks are also addressed. This paper highlights the need for appropriately symmetrical peering arrangements to be enforced, for both voice and data services, between all NBN Service Provider networks.
