I’m assuming that what the map is sort of showing (in an abstract way) are PoI (point of interconnect) & ??? POP-2 (Point of Presence) though I would think there would be vastly more POPs.
Sent an enquiry to the ACCC re the Map, maybe they will respond and maybe not…their blab as always fills me with no great anticipation of one (their highlighting in the quote below):
" Responses will usually be provided within 15 business days .
We will respond to you where we have information that may help you, or you have asked a question about your rights or obligations under the law. If this is not the case, you may not receive a response."
EDIT: @mark_m: Response received and the answer is “Thank you for writing to us about the Measuring Broadband Australia - Report 10 - September 2020. In regards to the image on page 2 showing Australia with a series of blue dots connected, this image is simply a page filler and holds only symbolic relevance to what is discussed in the report”. So in other words a waste of ink to make it look better.
