Handing Telstra a monopoly might mean there will be no upfront cost to the public, however they will recoup their money many time over.
Telstra faces some serious revenue declines. VoIP is rapidly expanding. Mobile has a lot of competition. Pay TV has some competitors on the horizon plus downloading of TV shows. Yellow pages would be losing revenue to the Internet as well.
