Telstra profit grew 13.3 per cent in the year to June 30, on a jump in mobile phone revenue as customers took up services with the Next G network.
Investors will focus on Telstra's outlook for the next two years and particularly the progress of its "transformation" and the associated cost savings, when the company releases its results next week.
The vision of the future BT portrayed this week at an Australian conference was so far removed from how Telstra's David Quilty has described the British telco that I wonder if they were talking about the same UK.
We've all experienced that irritating feeling upon walking into a nearly empty restaurant, only to see little 'reserved' signs on the empty tables, and to be told by the matre d' that no tables are available even as other people enter and are escorted to their tables.
With all the excitement over the iPhone, few people have noticed that 1 July was the 11th anniversary of the deregulation of Australia's telecommunications market.

Western Digital's My Book Mirror Edition is good value, and if the lack of transfer speed doesn't deter, then short of an NAS it's one of the better ways consumers can keep their data safe.
ViewSonic's LED back-lit monitor leaves a lot to be desired in the performance stakes, especially considering its price.
