News that the NBN Co and Telstra have reached an agreement to share infrastructure should be music to the ears of screen content creators.

Telstra will let NBN Co use its existing conduits in return for $11 billion and migration of the old copper and cable-based services to the new fibre optic network.
The NBN Co's CEO Mike Quigley has been out spruiking the consumer benefits, including HD video streaming.
A by-product could be that dismantling the NBN and sinking Australia's video content game-changer will be harder for an incoming Coalition.
