Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / October 2004Could/nt happen to a nicer co.
..... Tel$tra : Telstra's revenue from traditional fixed-line telephone services continues to fall with a drop of 1 per cent to less than $2 billion in the September 2004 quarter. As 110,000 households and business ditched their old fashioned telephone services and opt to rely on their mobile phones. Telstra moderated that decline in revenue through increased line rental charges, which increased by 8 per cent to $853 million. Telstra chief executive Ziggy Switkowski said it was inevitable revenue from fixed phone lines would fall. "They are falling everywhere around the world. Our job is to try and delay the accelerated fall." Die you big fat useless Govt. funded co...... CDIHL >Die you big fat useless Govt. funded co...... I agree. Telstra's pricing "rebalancing" has worked for a bit but people are starting to heed the call to mobiles. Eventually, maybe not too far off, the PSTN revenues will drop and Telstra can partly blame that on its MASSIVE increases in landline rental. >>Die you big fat useless Govt. funded co...... > > I agree.

I cant believe that they would do that, but then again, its just naive to think that they would not, or, indeed that they wont keep doing it. theres probably a reason they are driving everyone off.

Quite the opposite, total PSTN revenue dropped by 1% mainly because PSTN line rental increased by 7% > ..... > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > CDIHL probably explains why they are now phoning everyone who left and trying to woo them back. had a call tonight. told the guy about the primusOne deal and left him kinda silent. He then said "i guess telstra can't match that". My response "well, actually telstra can match it and do better, but it chooses not to. Profits for the investors is more important than customer satisfaction i think". Signature-- Aussies!

There's a very good reason why their shares are loitering in the 4.60-4.70 region - institutional investors look for return-on-investment (ROI) and can dump major parcels if they sniff a downturn in dividends. The govt informed brokers early in 2003 that they wouldn't sell the balance of Tel$tra until they could see $5.60 a share for it. Fat chance they can hold out that long. >>> ..... >>> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >>better, but it chooses not to.

The price of Telstra shares is MUCH more complicated than that. > The govt informed brokers early in 2003 that they wouldn't > sell the balance of Tel$tra until they could see $5.60 a > share for it.

It was mostly a reduction in multiple residential lines. > Telstra moderated that decline in revenue through increased line > rental charges, which increased by 8 per cent to $853 million.

Telstra pumps more into the government coffers than they have ever received back through USO funding, fuckwit. SignatureKwyj.

That funded by the telcos, with the amount collected from each particular telco varying with the use that telco gets, pig ignorant fuckwit cretin w.nker. > > > Tel$tra : > > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Pity about the USO fuckwit. The USO has nothing to do with government funding |
