    From show pony to dead horse

    Telstra's 21Mbps Next-G boost and Internode's new 100Mbps FttH networks may be both companies' show ponies, but when it comes to helping most of us, their need-for-speed posturing is just a box-and-dice distraction that we've all seen before.

    Dear Telstra: pack up your toys, go home

    Rejecting Telstra's proposal, after all, is the only conclusion Conroy can reach: as someone whose entire philosophy is built around transparency and process, he simply cannot keep Telstra as part of the NBN bidding process anymore.

  • Cracks in Telstra's defence

    The appointment of Telstra's new management represents a break from the company's past of friction with the Federal Government and regulators. But, however it is presented, Telstra's stance towards those seeking to reduce it has to continue to be aggressively defensive.

  • David Murray's fall guy

    The not-so-secret campaign by the Future Fund to evict Donald McGauchie from the chair of Telstra's board doesn't appear to have gained much traction. It is also unclear whether it was necessary.

  • The Trujillo legacy

    Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo will leave Telstra in a better position than when he arrived in 2005, but his successor will have to manage plenty of difficult legacy issues.

  • Conroy should play NBN hard ball

    Opinion: Conroy should end this futile tender process. Call Telstra's McGauchie and his executives in and read them the riot act. Appoint someone with appropriate credentials and resources not some panel to then negotiate a commercial deal on behalf of taxpayers.

  • Trujillo's trivial pursuit

    Telstra's bid was a total stuff-up and whoever wins the right to build the fibre-to-the-node NBN will be held up by a High Court challenge from Telstra on every conceivable ground.

  • David Braue Can not-so-smart meters help the NBN?
    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.
