A joke is what almost every comment said, when the story of Telstra entering the iot Homes market, was announced in the online version of 'The Australian ' recently.

I took the time to read all the comments on the story, as I was interested in how it might affect XPE.

The general impression I got was - it will not affect XPE at all.

Telstra has such a tarnished brand name, going by the comments in the online version of 'The Australian , that it will be flat out selling any iot device, to anyone.
Since then of course, the brand has tarnished it's name with more outages, affecting small businesses around the country.

More than a few sarcastic comments referred to this - and the future possibility of being locked out of your own home, due to Telstra systems crashing continously.

All my personal opinion, plus the opinion of others who commented on the release of the news about Telstra entering the iot Homes environment.
DYOR.
