Speaking out: Exetel's view of telco issues

To describe Exetel chief John Linton as outspoken in the telecommunications industry would be an understatement. The chief of the telco that boasts 125,000 customers and 100 employees based in Australia and Sri Lanka was against the NBN even before it was cool.

Exetel, is your NBN pricing for real?

When Exetel chief John Linton this week revealed the ISP's projected National Broadband Network pricing for Tasmania, my first thought was: "Is this for real?"

Should the NBN worry about wireless?

Outspoken chief executive of Australian internet service provider Exetel, John Linton, has been clear that he considers that wireless kills the NBN Co's fibre-to-the-home proposition. But could mobile broadband really rain on the NBN's parade and turn it into a failed field of dreams?
