re: empire strikes back The Govt, Tls , ACCC imbroglio is very interesting


The PM wants desperately to sell TLS. On his part it is idealogical.


Sen C##NAN wants to secure good competitition policy. For her this means driving TLS into the ground.


Sen Minchin wants a good price for TLS shares


SOL wants TLS privatised. Only then can he proceed with the monkey off his back. But he wants to secure a good regulatory outcome before privatisation.

Every statement by C##NAN is challenged by TLS...like the recent off-the-cuff statement with the AFR about the 3G mobile network

The way I see it.....

PM and Minchin are in one camp in the Gov

and C##NAN is alone

The big priority for the Gov in the weeks to come will be raising the SP.

The first big step on this road will be a good regulatory outcome in which the 'magificent seven' will be stranded at the node in FTTN

and the second.....

TLS revenue from all segments will better than expected...

IMHO
