Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / May 2008Telstra has options if loses Australia fibre bid
From http://in.reuters.com/article/technology-media-telco-SP/idINWEA756620080519?sp=true PARIS, May 19 (Reuters) - Australia's dominant telecoms group, Telstra (TLS.AX: Quote, Profile, Research), wants to build the country's high-speed fibre-optic network but has other options if it fails to win the government deal, its chief executive said on Monday. The Australian government last month called for bids for a broadband network to improve Internet access, which is slower and more expensive than in many other developed countries. Officials have warned Australia may become less competitive without faster, nationwide coverage. The government is offering A$4.7 billion ($4.5 billion) in funding, which it wants the winning bidder to match. But Telstra Chief Executive Sol Trujillo told the Reuters Technology, Media and Telecoms Summit in Paris the network may cost far more to build. "When you look at 98 percent of the nation -- we have already said publicly that it would cost us about 4.5 to 5 billion dollars to do the five big cities of Australia, and we all know that the first 50 percent is a lot more cost effective than the last 50 percent," he said. Assuming that the cost of the last 50 percent was roughly twice as high, the total could quickly run up to A$15 billion, he said. "We're going to respond to the RFP (request for proposals), but we're going to respond in a way that makes sense for our shareholders," Trujillo added. Yeah, it can always chuck a tantrum and see if anyone cares.

Wota terminal fuckwit. > Assuming that the cost of the last 50 percent was roughly twice as high, Nothing like plucking stupid numbers out of your arse. > the total could quickly run up to A$15 billion, he said.

Then the govt will tell you to go and f.ck yourself, just like it did with the Opel contract. > Yeah, it can always chuck a tantrum and see if anyone cares. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Yeah, it can always pay for the entire thing themselves.

Only if the govt had been stupid enough to allow them to refuse to resell it. Which would have returned DSL to a monopoly again. No thanks. There's a reason that telstra was forced to allow resale of the copper pair system. And they should have been forced to resell the adsl2+ system too. >>> The Australian government last month called for bids for a >>> broadband network to improve Internet access, which is slower >>> and more expensive than in many other developed countries. >> That last is a bare faced lie. >>> Officials have warned Australia may become less >>> competitive without faster, nationwide coverage. >> Bare faced lie.

So what I said is correct, that that was a bare faced lie. No such 'official' has done anything of the sort. >> PARIS, May 19 (Reuters) - Australia's dominant telecoms group, Telstra >> (TLS.AX: Quote, Profile, Research), wants to build the country's >> high-speed fibre-optic network but has other options if it fails to win >> the government deal, its chief executive said on Monday. > > Yeah, it can always pay for the entire thing themselves. why would they, when govt is stupid enough to stump up 4.7b? >> The Australian government last month called for bids for a broadband >> network to improve Internet access, which is slower and more expensive >> than in many other developed countries. > > That last is a bare faced lie. Crappola. Part, or maybe the majority, of the cost difference, b/w Oz and the majority of the other 'developed countries' would be the sheer physical size of the network. Australia is massive compared to most other developed countries. >> "When you look at 98 percent of the nation -- we have already said >> publicly that it would cost us about 4.5 to 5 billion dollars to do the >> five big cities of Australia, and we all know that the first 50 percent >> is a lot more cost effective than the last 50 percent," he said. > > Wota terminal fuckwit.
