Charged with the greater responsibility of spearheading Australia’s leading telecommunication company, CEO Ziggy Switkowski bears the Telstra vision of enhancing its position as the leading full-service, telecommunications and information services company in Australia close to his chest.
A high level Telstra executive has labelled other potential bidders for the proposed FTTN network as "pretenders" after it was revealed the telco suggested to the government that it attach a multi-million dollar application fee and bond to all its network tender requests.
update: A group of Telstra's rivals known as the G9 has formally lodged their proposal for a nationwide fibre broadband network with the competition regulator.
The nation's largest telcos, Telstra and Optus, have welcomed the Australian Labor Party's election promise to facilitate a new national fibre broadband network with up to AU$4.7 billion in funding, and key telecommunications reforms.
The mobile telecommunications industry is estimated to have secured revenues of around AU$8.8 billion for 2003-04, according to a report by the Allen Consulting Group.
The government's Australia Connected program, it appears, is no longer an altruistic and long-overdue investment in Australia's infrastructure, but a political football whose primary purpose seems to be to send a massive "nyah-nyah" to the Labor party.
