The Commerce Commission's STD (apt TLA) on sub-loop unbundling, ie, how much to get in a cabinet, is out, 26% above the price for LLU (the price to connect to the copper in the exchange), and then the cost of backhaul from the cabinet to... an exchange I guess, needs to be factored in.

The additional cost has been lamely justified by ComCom due to the misapprehension "that service providers will be able to provide customers with higher-value services over sub-loop services, resulting in a higher return on investment."

Excuse me, but the services I get over the connectivity I rent from an ISP have little, and getting less, to do with the ISP (who have always been misnamed, IMHO, they are ITPs, Internet Transit Providers, a commodity with a Help Desk.)

ISPs are not going to get any additional high-margin services revenue, from me, whether they are in a cabinet or the exchange. The services, Google, Facebook, et al, aren't an ISP matter.
