Yep, most are grateful for the services Telstra supplies, that no one else
does.

Years back I used to go to a little fart of a town called Oaklands in NSW.
500 people or so (if that).

Friend there had a property he went to every 6 mths or so.

TELSTRA supplied an Incontact service to the house - no one else would. Free
incoming landline.

Then along came CDMA. No one else within 100 km had ANY coverage.

So yes, plenty of people in the country are happy that Telstra bothers,
because no one else does
