  @markbouris John Howard a failed PM that lost his own seat. Sold off Telstra to the people that already owned it at a time when we needed to upgrade to optic fibre network. Tried to introduce Workchoices to destroy wage increases. Sold off gas on 30 year contract . Neg gearing and CGT ..

  SpaceX is now the most valuable telecom company on earth and it doesn't have a single retail customer yet. Telstra, Optus, Verizon — all about to find out what happens when one guy with rockets decides your industry is too slow, too expensive, and too protected by government.

  @Mac80277103 @JP__75 Howard shifted policies. He said GST would never be part of his Gov’s policies at the ‘98 election, then introduced it in ‘00. He said no Work choices then introduced it. No Telstra same then sold it. This is different to a gov seeing housing get harder so they made a change.

  @Mark49438347 @PubRockVersion Telstra is required to operate payphones as part of the Universal Service Obligations, except they're now free because they can't be bothered fixing them everytime some some bogan smashes open the coin box.

  @rainbowdefault @AJAllchin @Telstra And an upside of this is there is now an unpaid army of people testing whether the payphones are actually still working, rather than some poor chump in an emergency getting stranded.

  @AlanBixter Ahh yes, the joys of having every Telstra support person go through the same failed script (re-start modem, check cables, blah, blah...) & then sending a new modem - which still doesn't fix the problem 😡. I have quite the collection now.

  NEWS: Telstra and TPG push Australian government for competitive spectrum auctions despite SpaceX warning Australian mobile carriers Telstra and TPG Telecom have urged the government to go ahead with open, competitive auctions for spectrum licences used for mobile and satellite mobile services, even after SpaceX warned it would withhold Starlink satellite mobile service in Australia if it isn’t given priority access to key wireless spectrum. SpaceX has made it clear that its satellite-to-mobile network (Starlink Direct to Cell) needs guaranteed access to Australia’s wireless airwaves to launch its full services — including voice and data for phones directly from satellites. But Telstra and TPG argue that giving one provider priority access risks limiting competition and could lock in high prices for consumers. A TPG spokesperson said competitive auctions are important because market concentration is a real risk if policy settings favour a single operator. They stressed Australia should encourage multiple satellite providers and business models, not entrench dominance by any one company, whether traditional mobile or satellite-based. Telstra and TPG’s stance comes amid broader debate about how Australia will manage spectrum — a critical resource that carries all mobile voice, text and data traffic. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has been consulting on future spectrum licences and how to allocate them fairly as older licences expire and new services are developed. Telstra itself has been active in satellite-mobile tech, testing and rolling out basic satellite messaging in Australia using SpaceX’s Direct to Cell system, but carriers say full commercial services must not be tied to exclusive spectrum access for one provider.
