Do you see any other way other than this way to make it a fair playing field for all suppliers one day?
Telecom (now Telstra) used to be the monopoly and then they split it up piece meal. Now we have a patchwork quilt around the country that doesn't work at all and no private company will now invest in any substantial infrastructure because of it...
Yes, free enterprise would be best, but not when you have the situation we have in this country where no one is willing to invest...
