Telstra should move quickly to negotiate as favourable a strategic NBN position possible, analysts have warned after the government's bombshell announcement yesterday that it would separate the telco's retail and wholesale operations if the company didn't voluntarily separate first.
The telecommunications industry seems to be wreathed in euphoric mist after today's announcement which looks to lead to Telstra's separation, but there are still voices of caution to be heard.
Members of Telstra's main union are expressing frustration over the fact that new pay rates have yet to be settled.
Tough decisions and a period of high anxiety lies ahead for Australia's third-largest mobile telco VHA as it determines which suppliers and staff to cut in the coming weeks.
The Communications, Electricians and Plumbers Union says its talks with Telstra over establishing a new Enterprise Bargaining Agreement are proceeding well, but the issue of pay hasn't been discussed yet.
2008 was a cracker year for telco in Australia, with so many huge events happening that those at the beginning of the year have been drowned by the importance of those at the end.
Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union (CEPU) national president Ed Husic talks about how Telstra's strikes are going and what Telstra's fall from the national broadband network process means to its workers.
