To be honest, there have been bigger HPON allocation events than this one just passed. The allocations 1997 to 2000 were by far the biggest in terms of the number of licences allocated across all states, and the amount of money ACMA raised in auctions. Nevertheless, this auction has been the most impressive since 2005, boasting some very impressive HPONs in large markets. No surprise then that they all went for a high price!
