[MLB-WIRELESS] Telstra selloff question

[evilbunny]

Hello Paul,

There is 1 other option...

retain the infrastructure by govt... and the flog off a useless
company...

then have a much fairer access scheme to the copper by resellers and a
better deployment for all australians and then we might actually
progress into the world on top of things, instead of 10 years
behind...

NZ was running DSL in 95/96...
