It’s going to be an important issue. But NBNCo has for a long time virtually ignored MDUs (multi-dwelling units) …But the question of how internal cabling can be done for the thousands of older mid-sized apartment buildings is not well addressed.
That’s why the smart older buildings (or their smart strata managers) are already making plans for when the cable finally gets to their front doors. I think any Owners Corp that tries to put this in the ‘too-hard” basket will pay a price, literally, when their block is the only one in their neighbourhood that doesn’t have NBN.
In the unlikely event of my ever being chair of an owners corp, I would be talking to the strata manager now to set out the requirements my building had – including getting the cable at least to every level of the block – so that when NBNCo comes knocking, they’ll do what we want rather than the other way round.
