Also heard from Aussie Broadband that my National Broadband Network antenna would be installed next week. Do the installers know what will await them? On the one hand it's the correct time to install the cabling, but we won't have any walls to attach the NTD to. Asked Aussie to confirm with the installers, but no, they have no contact with the installers, who work for NBN.
But then I got a call from a Walter Bonilla from the NBN, who told me what they needed and explained that they had exact instructions on what to do, and they weren't allowed to diverge from them at all. I explained that the NTD just needed to be screwed to a wall, but no, he said, there's a metal frame that goes with it. So I checked: there are two screws that go into the wall, no frame to be seen. Then Walter admitted that he didn't know the details, and he would get the techies to call me a day or two before they came. Finally broke out of the bureaucratic loop!
