Australia: Technical Woes Play Havoc With Optus' Bigfoot

Chris Jenkins writes on Australian IT:

Optus's bid to wean itself off Telstra ADSL resale and bring more margin back to its broadband business has hit a snag, as technical glitches play havoc with the company's $150 million Bigfoot project to deploy its own ADSL infrastructure.

The problems have put the project well behind schedule, and industry sources suggest the company has switched on equipment in less than half of the exchanges it originally planned.

Optus did not deny there had been delays.
