Labor Communications spokesperson Stephen Conroy has promised to be tougher on Telstra over operational separation.
Communications Minister Helen Coonan has revealed the government is considering the structural separation of Telstra as part of a planned fibre-to-the-node rollout.
After threats of structural separation seemed to loom large for Telstra last week, the head of the ACCC has added his voice to the government's in stepping back from the suggestions of a split.
It's not too late for the government to break up the "monster" that is Telstra via structural separation, according to leader of the Australian Democrats, Senator Lyn Allison.
The Rudd government was "hopelessly compromised" on its plan to build a national broadband network, former Communications Minister Helen Coonan said this week.
One of the real dangers of election season -- for politicians, at least -- is being held to their word.
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
Just a few days after the Australia Connected program was launched Communications Minister Helen Coonan was selling the initiative to the TV talk shows.
Telstra is determined to create new sources of revenue by investing in new IP infrastructure and building managed offerings around the integration of infrastructure and services. This means turning the company into a new kind of business -- with major implications for the whole economy.
The Australian Labor Party's ICT shadow minister wants a national fibre broadband network and enough skilled people to exploit it.
