We’re joined this week by ZDNet Australia editor Chris Duckett to talk through the latest in NBN news. Wait, didn’t the NBN get “completed” last year? Well… yes and no, and especially no if you’re in an HFC NBN area and you haven’t yet been connected. We’ve got some rather bad news for you on that score.

Meanwhile, Telstra’s announced a big shift in its sports streaming strategy, dropping mobile streaming of its own in favour of a deal with Foxtel’s Kayo. Of course, Telstra owns lots of Foxtel shares… so is it really Telstra’s Kayo?

Want to know more about the HFC freeze? Chris wrote about it in detail here. Likewise, he also noted down the details around Telstra’s Kayo deals and justifications in this story.
