RL I think Sol will look at the NBN from Australia's, Consumers and Telstra's point of view. Not Terria's point of view.
Its sol's job to make the shareholders as much money as possible... i dont think they means he's going to be playing nice, what might be good for australia/consumers might not be good to telstras bottom line, hence its sol's job to try and stop what ever hurts that oh so precious bottom line
Agreed, thats probably exactly right, considering that a business is a business and not a gathering of philanthropists.
As DR Phil Burgess rightly points out...
Separation was an idea in th 80s that the Government gave up the opportuniy to separte Telstra whrn it sold 1.4 Million shares to ALL the Mums & Dads...
So much for the wisdom of US free marketeers!
If structural separation is an 80s idea, so too was Govt ownership of banks in the US and look what happened. The free market wrecked the US ecomnomy!
Trujillo spins it all his way. He uses UK as an example and as ZDNet showed some weeks ago, BT is doing just fine with their version of operational separation. It's time Australians stop blindly following bad advice, especially from the basketcase US free market economic gurus.
Trujillo will always position what's best for himself first, Telstra short term second, and Oz somwhere after US Hispanics, US and mariachi bands.

Sol, we are not talking about Telstra being split up, we're talking about the infrastructure being split up. IMO Telstra has 2 choices: build the NBN and:
1. Offer Wholesale services, or
2. Offer Retail Services (Selling the network to an independent entity)
Telstra cannot offer both services, otherwise there won't be a level playing field. Sol needs to look at this NBN from Australia's point of view, not Telstra's point of view.
