    Telstra only please. Anonymous -- 05/03/07

    If John Howard gives one cent of my money to foreign companies to try to destroy Telstra he can be assured that he will not have my vote in the coming election.

    Is that really a good reason ? Anonymous -- 21/03/07 (in reply to #320075752)

    Your a Telstra shareholder aren't you ?

    This money is going to any company that is willing to provide broadband to areas Telstra have so far refused to provide any service too.

    Having 1/2 the money go directly to Telstra shareholders is equally insulting. The rest then goes into a glacier slow roll out of FTTN.

    ps: There are plenty of good reasons not to vote for howard. Notice how he only reacts to problems once they become an election issue, instead of acting in a timely manner when warned of impending disaster.
