Telstra is unlikely to win the right to build the proposed national high-speed broadband network if it insists on wholly owning it and demands an annual return of 18 per cent, an analyst says.
Telstra has called on the Federal government to end the speculation around whether the telecommunications giant will be broken up.
Optus has threatened to pull out of the fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) tender process unless the government approves operational separation for Telstra and a delay to the bid deadline, while Telstra has threatened to withdraw if it does.
The federal government will sell part of its 51.8 per cent stake in Telstra to the public in October and November, Prime Minister John Howard said today.
Past leaders of US-based telco AT&T Wireless and BHP Petroleum will join Telstra's board as non-executive directors, the company announced today.
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
Like many reporters engaged in the shady business of covering the Australian telecommunications sector, I spent Friday, 6 October, at Telstra's mammoth eight hour investor briefing in Sydney.
