So now the roll-out is to only half the houses in Australia. If this is to be a public funding gift to Telstra then why not ensure that the first 50% of Australian houses are those in remote and regional areas rather than the ususal CBDs. There is enough population density in our CBDs to have effective competition for (high speed) broadband. It's the people in regional Australia who are always overlooked and the reason that the "free market" ideology does not work in this country for infrastructure!
I wonder if the Telstra Mandarins realise the depth of public cynicism bought about by Sol's saber rattling and shield beating. How much public support does Telstra really have?
Australians really don't like bullies! Sol isn't doing himself or Telstra any favours
Please do not confuse your hopes and desires with reality. I am sure that for starters Telstra's 1,600,000 shareholders idolise Sol. I would think that the majority of Australians would realize that Mr. Trujillo, as the prime Telecommunication Expert in the world, is a great advantage to Telstra and is making every effort to bring Australia up to speed with the rest of the world in fast speed broadband.

"But the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) objected to Telstra's proposed wholesale pricing regime, which would have been in the mid-$80 range per month for rivals."
Yeah i can see why only half of us will get it... the other half probably wouldn't be able to afford it...
That's real fair huh?
