Election outcome non-issue to Telstra

TELSTRA chief executive Sol Trujillo has undermined Labor's promise to build
a high-speed fibre network by reminding investors that it will take many
years to construct, no matter who wins the election.
Mr Trujillo claimed he did not care who won the election, despite the
company's recent record of slamming the Howard Government's policies and
launching several court actions against it.

"We are indifferent to which party wins because the strategy is still the
same," Mr Trujillo told a seven-hour investors briefing in Sydney.

However, he once again took aim at the Government-backed plan for a regional
and rural high-speed network, saying it was clear this would also take a
long time to get any traction - if it ever did.

Telstra has condemned the Government's decision to award nearly $1 billion
to the Optus Elders consortium (OPEL) to build the network and the
suitability of the chosen wireless technology.

"The good news for us is they made a great technology choice," Mr Trujillo
said sarcastically.

"That will play out in the market."

Telstra and others believe the wireless technology chosen by OPEL is not up
to scratch.

He said that, in contrast, Telstra would always ensure it had plenty of
options, including radically upgrading its cable system as an alternative to
a fibre broadband network.

The adequacy of Australia's broadband services has become a crucial campaign
issue. Labor has promised to contribute $4.7 billion of government funds to
build a national fibre network, a commitment that underpins the party's
claim to a strong agenda.

Under pressure and unable to get a deal with Telstra on pricing, the
Government has set up a special taskforce to report on the issue after the
election.

Of course Trujillo doesn't care, because the Seppo Yank can't vote
because he isn't an Australian Citizen!

Pigs arse he ever did.

Irrelevant to whether it will happen if the voters are actually stupid enough to elect labor.

Just the usual utterly mindless mex bullshit.

No it isnt, you stupid mex fuckwit.

Then why are you trying to get it stopped, you stupid mex fuckwit ?

And everyone knows why, they'd rather rip off everyone
with the utterly obscene NextG data charges instead.

And no one buys the telstra lies.

No one is actually gunna be stupid enough to get sucked
in by your utterly obscene data charges, fuckwit.

Yep, and you'll get done like a fucking dinner, you watch.

And the customers get to decide that, fuckwit.

And we have seen what the customers think of the cable system, fuckwit.

Pigs arse it has. The absolute vast bulk of the voters who care about
broadband have signed up for the CURRENT broadband, fuckwit.

And to fuck over telstra in the process.

Pity that only a fool actually buys what they propose to piss that money against the wall on.

> Under pressure and unable to get a deal with Telstra on pricing,

Bare faced pig ignorant lie.

And that will be absolutely guaranteed to fuck over Testra very comprehensively indeed.

Just what those fuckwit yanks deserve.
