Nope, just realising that that mindless stoush with the govt that
telstra cant possibly win does no one any good, least of all telstra.

Corse they will. And with any luck it will piss the govt off so much that it will
tell telstra that it cant turn the cdma system of EVER, and three guesses
how those voters in those marginal electorates will feel about that ?

Footshot after footshot after footshot by telstra.
Thats guaranteed that if the current govt does get reelected, that telstra
wont get a look in on the new broadband in urban areas, you watch.
Labor has already decided that telstra gets to fuck itself on that.

Yep, they've always believed that telstra are self serving
arseholes and NextG proved that to them in spades.

It aint a claim, its a fact, fuckwit. They cant believe that telstra could actually be
that stupid when it depends on the govt policy for so much of its business activity.

And fuck all of them have actually been that stupid. Because they
realise what immense damage that would do to the value of their
shares when the govt inevitably fucks telstra over for doing that.

And the shareholders should be giving them the bums rush for actually being that stupid.

Great, just makes the bums rush absolutely inevitable.

Clearly a pathological liar.

We've got that, and just saw those rules produce real competition with broadband in rural areas.
You clowns get to like that or lump that.

Yep, those fuckwit yanks are actually that stupid.

And wont bother to talk to that fool when telstra gets shafted on the
cdma shutdown, or the new broadband in urban areas either, you watch.
