In what the telco likens to a B-grade movie, Telstra says its rivals have
forgotten about the goals of the National Broadband Network (NBN) and are
instead using it and the government to gain market advantage and tear the
incumbent apart.
"It's like watching a B-grade slasher movie but, in this film, the knives
are out for millions of Telstra customers and shareholders," Telstra group
MD, public policy & communications Phil Burgess said in a statement.
The calls for separation are not for the good of the nation, according to
Burgess, but a ploy to kill the competition.
"In a case of clear vested interest, they actually want to use separation as
a means to reduce the competition they face in their particular markets," he
said.
It's Telstra against the world, according to Burgess: "Mobile operators want
to see Telstra's mobiles business broken up; ISPs want BigPond broken up;
content providers want BigPond and Foxtel broken up; telcos want to put an
axe to the lot; and Acacia wants to shield its NBN from all competition,
even from wireless. Google, of course, wants everything for free."
"The most likely outcome in all the gaming that is now going on is even more
delay in building the NBN - or, even worse, that the NBN may never be built
at all."

What a pathetic little drama queen!

They're *very* good for the nation - but not as good as it will be if
separation actually happens.

That's unusual. When it comes to anti-competitive behaviour, Telstra's
usually way ahead of the pack! Wouldn't it be sad if they were played at
their own game!

In other words, they're all just like Telstra...

"Who cares, so long as Telstra gets split up."
That's what Burgess is saying.
"Telstra says its rivals have forgotten about the goals of the National
Broadband Network (NBN) and are instead using it and the government to
gain market advantage and tear the incumbent apart."
