I Don't have access to this, but without attempting to bypass NBR's paywall, for those who can read it is there actually any weight to this or is it speculation?

If there is weight, that's interesting considering they have partnered with Snap recently - which isn't a surprising relationship given Snap backhaul a lot of 2degrees data.

Nothing new, talks about their plans and asks whether they could partner with MyRepublic..Which simply wouldn't work because myrepublic don't want legacy copper services, which is something still essential if you're going to be pitching to business customers.
