I have an idea…

The Australian government should buy back Telstra’s wholesale and infrastructure. At a cost amicable to the shareholders but, as is the case with stock risk, for no more than what the current market would expect.

That’s it. That’s my idea.

If you want a reason go lookup the NBN project; Telstra’s opposition to it; ACC investigations into monopolising and then some; current Telstra share price; comparative international service cost differences; etc… in other words there are many reasons.

Oh I’d love to be there when someone introduced this as a bill to parliament.
