We've decided to wind up HIT Pacific Broadband.
After careful consideration, Helen and Terry have made the decision to close the project. It was a genuine attempt to build something better in the Australian broadband market, and we're proud of what we built — even if we won't be taking it to launch.
We want to thank everyone who signed up to the waitlist, reached out with encouragement, or took the time to follow along. It meant a great deal.
Terry is writing a short book about the experience — building a regulated telco from scratch in 2026 with AI as a genuine working partner for almost every task. What that collaboration actually looked like, what it made possible, and what it still couldn't fix.
