Of course Trujillo wants complete ownership of the Broadband network whilst trying to reduce the ACCC's authority, how else will it maintain its monpoly activities.
Be under no illusion Telstra is only interested in one thing, maintaining a grip on as much comms infrastructure as possible so it can swindle as much out of the government and popuation as it can whilst holding investment in infrastructure to ransom to meet its own political end. Telstra must be hobbled.
Having the government part-own the infrastructure with a third party other than Telstra is one method by which the playing field can be partially levelled. Th real question is will the government surrender that control and if it does what will Telstra do to try to control it?
What do we want to enrich with a network upgrade. Do we want to enrich our future or do we want to enrich a bunch of corporate flunkies who cannot think outside the square.
Giving design/build ownership to our universities will also benefit the schools of the future policy. Initial infrastructure costs can be higher because there will be little or no rental costs associated with the "education institution" owned network. Wholesale bandwith and maintenance can be sold off to Telstra and company who can bring it to the homes or use it for other commercial interests.
Trujillo should lose his visa for failing the golden test - not doing the right thing for the australian public. Haniff got sent home for less than a once off to what Trujillo does daily!
Where are all the ex-Telstra employees? Telstra used to have 93,000 employees, the vast majority of which are no longer with Telstra. If the Government hires just several thousand of them it could build its own network.
I am really sick of this crap about shareholds that telstra are going on about.
Is telstra not making a profit any more?? Yes the are and a killing at that.
