NSW farmers are concerned that "patchy" coverage offered by Australia's latest mobile phone network could leave them isolated in cases of emergency.
Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo today said the telco's future strategy would involve expanding existing delivery platforms aside from fibre to the node (FTTN).

Australia's second largest telco Optus today said it would not invest in fixed line phone and internet networks in Australia if Telstra was awarded control of the national broadband network (NBN).
TelstraClear has turned from a loss to a profit but it still only contributed NZ$7.5 million to its parent's $A6.23 billion annual operating profit.
