Telstra bags Optus on announcement of DSL RolloutAnonymous -- 22/09/05 (in reply to #120121305)

"He said Telstra had 5,500 exchanges around Australia, compared to Optus' expectation of 340 exchanges.

"The issue is that Telstra is left with 50 percent of the country where there is no money to be made, where there is 100 percent market share," the spokesman said.

"In the 50 percent of the market where everyone wants to be, because that is where there is money to be made, it is getting increasingly tough". "

Indeed. I understood that Telstra did not install DSL services in rural/regional centres until a viable number of customers expressed interest. Therefore, all Telstra DSL services, especially in the "uneconomic" regions, should be viable, or cost neutral, at least. A bit of spin doctoring?
