Telstra shareholders travelled from far and wide to vent their frustrations as owners and customers to the telco's chairperson, Catherine Livingstone and chief David Thodey.
Facing a possible ban on bidding for 4G wireless spectrum, Telstra chief David Thodey today warned the government to steer clear of its backhaul networks its last front for infrastructure competition.
Telstra chief financial officer John Stanhope has said, subject to three key conditions, structural separation could benefit shareholders.
