EVER WINDER WHY YOUR INTERNET COSTS SO MUCH.

Australia pays as much for its internet as the whole of Europe, population 330M Vs 22M when the article was written.

Quote:

If Australians wonder why Internet and many other services are more expensive in their country than anywhere else in the world they need only look to Telstra. What's interesting is that Telstra maintains their high pricing even if only delivering traffic inside the country. Given that Australia is one large land mass with relatively concentrated population centers, it's difficult to justify the pricing based on anything other than Telstra's market power. In regions like North America where there is increasing consolidation of networks, Australia's experience with Telstra provides a cautionary tale.

Conclusion

Going by that Telstra should be making huge profits.

Or is it being squandered by sheer bad management? OR?
