Liberal communications spokesperson Bruce Billson has accused the Rudd government of having an inconsistent stance on its dealings with Telstra and its activation of the ADSL2+ network -- but one analyst claims it could all just be semantics.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has defended the lack of progress in building a national broadband internet network, saying the government was committed to the so-called digital revolution.
Bruce Billson, the Liberal communications spokesperson, has taken aim at Labor's plans to draw on money from the previous government's communications fund to build its fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) network.
Incoming Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and his likely Minister for Communications Stephen Conroy will need more than a firm handshake if they are to avoid a battle with Telstra that could derail their plans for a national broadband network, according to one industry expert.
Was it Communications Minister Senator Coonan herself who left the door open for Labor to launch its extremely popular new broadband policy?
Ahead of the election, with promises for nationwide broadband networks and digital revolutions in schools, the ICT industry could hope the government was on their side. But now the glamour of a sparkling new government has worn off, how ICT-friendly is the Rudd government really?
