Xtra in the SpamHaus SBL
by Peter Macaulay 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

I don't know if anyone from Xtra reads this list - trying to get through to anyone who has even an iota of understanding about this type of thing by phone appears to be almost impossible. Xtra has managed to get itself into the SBL realtime blocklist - http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL22816 It appears that someone objected to some promotional material sent out by the "House of Travel" travel agent group and has ended up blocking them; this means that one of Xtra's MX (mail exchanger) servers is now blocked by anyone who uses the SBL as a spam filter. If anyone knows anyone at Xtra who can do something about this, could you pass this message on? It's probably inconveniencing a reasonably large number of people. The NZNOG list would be a good place to post this too, I suppose, but I'm not a subscriber.

As Neil pointed out, 02.Net has not gone bust and is still trading. Due to the recent IPNET issue with Telecom, we decided for the money actually made on dialup services and the level of support required that we would no longer continue providing this service. As for Craig's statement about "unable to sell any services.." this is incorrect our Dialup (and all other services) are still working until customers swap over to Orcon (who are contacting customers with our permission). In short, we're getting out of dialup internet because there is no money in continuing these types of services. We are focusing more on corporate and higher speed products, with a lesser level of support required. So, you will still see us around. Any questions or queries can be sent directly through to myself. -- Regards, Lamar (02.Net's Director). >>From the 02.net.nz website... > >>If you are an Internet customer of 02.Net, due to circumstances > outside of our >>control, 02.Net is unable to continue supply of Dialup services at > this time.

Alternative DSL?
by Jonathan Brewer 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

Questions for NZNOG: In a new apartment building with CAT5 run from each unit to a central closet, installed by the developers, who owns the CAT5? If the CAT5 is the property of the building body corporate, is it permissable for an alternative network operator to install their own mini-DSLAM, and provide alternative DSL to building occupants? If this unit is not using Telecom lines, does it need to be Telepermit approved? If competitive DSL is run over spare pairs (not in use by TelecomNZ), will there be any implications for residents who subscribe to JetStream? Am I going to end up in pain for asking these questions? Cheers, Jon

I read a contract for a development in Auckland recently. There was a clause regarding services that stated that the purchaser must purchase electricity/gas/water from the company that the developers specify. There was also a clause that made it compulsory for future buyers to agree to this too. It may or may not have extended this to other services - I'm not sure - this development also had cat-5 cabled throughout and mentioned broadband internet access as an available service. This clause, among others, put me off investing in the development. I'm pretty sure that to answer your question you would need to check the contracts signed by the owners and check the body corporate rules - I doubt you will get a single situation that covers all developments. You will probably need to negotiate with the manager/body corporates at each location. -- Regan ________________________________ From: Jonathan Brewer [mailto:jon.brewer(a)worldnet.att.net] Sent: Monday, 17 January 2005 3:28 p.m. To: 'nznog' Subject: [nznog] Alternative DSL?

-----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Brewer [mailto:jon.brewer(a)worldnet.att.net] Sent: Monday, 17 January 2005 15:28 To: 'nznog' Subject: [nznog] Alternative DSL? Questions for NZNOG: In a new apartment building with CAT5 run from each unit to a central closet, installed by the developers, who owns the CAT5? I believe this would be the owner of the building, or the body corporate (which consists of the tenants of the apartments of the building). If the CAT5 is the property of the building body corporate, is it permissable for an alternative network operator to install their own mini-DSLAM, and provide alternative DSL to building occupants? Yes this is permissable. Obviously the building owner / manager would need to approve this. But if the building owner is doing an 'under-the-table' deal with Telecom and stops other providers providing their alternative DSL to building occupants, this can be considered anti-competitive behaviour and Telecom could be taken to the commerce commission for this. If this unit is not using Telecom lines, does it need to be Telepermit approved? No, as it is not using telecom lines! They would need to have their own lines into the building, however. If competitive DSL is run over spare pairs (not in use by TelecomNZ), will there be any implications for residents who subscribe to JetStream? Apart from interference, I would not believe so. Am I going to end up in pain for asking these questions? Cheers, Jon
