"Where's the benefit", page-4

imo the nbn agreement is good for tls for many reasons.
imo the accc is bad for tls for many reasons.
Hopefully the optus investment has made it clear to the accc that all vodafone has to do is invest in regional australia providing competition in regional mobile and at the same time forcing/providing incentive for mobile owners to invest in regional australia in order to remain competitive..
Only the brain dead would suggest the same business model as nbn for regional australia ie one owner with no incentive to invest ie no competition with access and pricing controlled by the accc so no control over profit.
If managed reasonably tls is not in a competitive sector,but it must diversify to take advantage of its market share ie energy an excellent start ie they can re sell nbn thru belong,they can re sell gas thru belong ,they can 'sell' electricity thru belong,they will sell off grid electricity all excellent for tls.
ps same tyro
ps same a thorium plant but i'll settle for a irrigation/hydro dam.
plenty of potential surrounding their mobile and seacable network.
