"It isn't a new deal, they already spend that much with Telstra Wholesale each year."

Thats not true. They did ~$20million in mobile last year and that comes from Optus Wholesale. Take out mobile hardware revenues, and other misc services to and you are left with their Fixed wire and DSL revenue.

I find this part interesting from the article:

"Telstra Wholesale had flagged an increased readiness to deal with People Telecom due to the fact it was not investing in competing broadband infrastructure as others -- for example, Optus, iiNet and Internode -- were doing."

Watch out iiNet !
