But the state-owned corporation â tasked with building and operating the national broadband network â remains unable to satisfy retailers, which have again argued for a more drastic overhaul of its wholesale pricing model.

The latest flashpoint has emerged after NBN Co released the second paper of its pricing review on Wednesday morning, following months of industry feedback.
