121 Points of Interconnect (POI) The Government has determined that a semi-distributed POI structure which extends the NBN Co network to meet with, but not overbuild competitive backhaul routes is the preferred outcome. Statement of Expectations to NBN Co, 17 December 2010. The ACCC has published a draft list of 121 POIs that meet the competition criteria being 80 metropolitan locations and 41 regional locations. NBN Co is currently conducting detailed design of the nominated POIs. The Government has opted for a semi-distributed POI model 14

FSAM Sequence Generator Policy Rules Coverage of both rural & metro Coverage in all States & Territories Provide all of Tasmania by 2015 Fixed Wireless complete by mid 2015 All New Developments (over 100 premises) Practical Rules All Transit Network completed by 2015. Level Regional Construction Packages (RCP) Full FSA is built once started. All FSAs are built on a Transmission Ring. FSAs containing New Development premises are given priority. Adjacent FSAs are built as a higher priority. In Metropolitan areas, FSAs are built outwards from the Aggregation Nodes. Strategic Rules Prioritisation of locations that contain Universities associated with the First Release Sites that have committed Broadband programs. Transit connectivity for First release sites, Second release sites and the New Developments to be provided first. 30
