    You gutless worm Ziggy...

    Of course there's no "Telstra positions" going offshore. But there'll be an outsourcer somewhere down river under pressure to send thousands of Telstra generated jobs to India. Just ask IBM.

    Don't be fooled by this forked tongued weasel.

    How well do you sleep at night Ziggy? I suppose it's foolish to ask such a question of someone who has such contempt for the Australian public as to play these kinds of word games with them. Still that's why you rake in the big bucks hey Ziggy?

    You're going to hell.

    A lot of Telstra's software was originally written in India? Really? Which packages?

    What a load of cobblers.

    We know what this game is about.

    Why is it that when ever you need to speak to someone on a technically difficult issue you alway end up going throw to a vioce prompt service, then talk to someone with broken english.
    What ever happen to customer service. Or does that cost to much these days.

    I think we should be outsourcing. In fact one area that should be looked at is that of CEO's. They cost large companies like Telstra MILLIONS of dollars. We could get say an indian CEO in for say $20000.00 dollars per year and he could make the same stupid, uninformed, short sighted decisions for a much lower price tag. I mean how hard is it to run a virtual monopoly.

    No jobs are to be lost overseas - that is this week.
    Next week we will have had time to invent a new set of "rose coloured glasses" to fool ourselves and the public.
    Please use Telstra's lack of real services so I can continue to sell your jobs but retain mine with all the benefits you wont enjoy; oh there is always social services for the unemployed layabout ex IT workers.

    It was interesting to witness Conroy's recent enthusiasm to spruik the NBN's role in supporting the Smart Grid, Smart City initiative. What a pity that Conroy hadn't yet seen the damning report from the Victorian auditor-general about that state's smart-meter roll-out.
