Telstra has distanced itself from the ACCC's estimates of the value of its copper access network, estimates that were accidentally released yesterday by Minister for Communications Stephen Conroy.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy and his opposite Nick Minchin squared off in a lengthy debate in the Senate Estimates Committee yesterday on topics as varying as Cisco's Telepresence system, the CeBIT trade fair and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Telstra shareholders travelled from far and wide to vent their frustrations as owners and customers to the telco's chairperson, Catherine Livingstone and chief David Thodey.
Telstra chief financial officer John Stanhope has said, subject to three key conditions, structural separation could benefit shareholders.

Now that Minister Stephen Conroy has played his hand regarding Telstra's separation, the hard part begins.

The salary of Mike Kaiser, the National Broadband Network Company's government relations and external affairs chief, has been outed by a senate motion started by Shadow Communications Minister Nick Minchin yesterday.
Boss of internet service provider Exetel, John Linton, says the National Broadband Network should be handed to the only company that can build it Telstra and he's not impressed by NBN Co chief Mike Quigley.
In the midst of the current Liberal emissions trading and leadership maelstrom, there exists numerous breaches in the shadow cabinet's line-up. Who will step up to fill the gap left by the fallen Senator Minchin?
Reading Telstra's submission to the government on NBN regulation is a bit like reading a combination of Dicken's David Copperfield, specifically the simpering character known as Uriah Heep, and Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.
