Nope. Telstra only ever did cable because Optarse did. Optarse only ever did
their cable rollout because they wanted to get the jump on Telstra with something
more than Telstra could offer and when they lost the content war to foxtel, they
realised that they were never going to make enough money out of cable to
make the extras economically viable, so they stopped their cable rollout.
