Delay may give Telstra inside running on NBN


Nov 26, 2009 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Rival telcos believe that Telstra will gain an advantage from the delay of telco reform legislation. The bill will probably be considered in February 2010. Competitors are concerned that Telstra will negotiate a deal with the Federal Government that will give it a controlling position in the national broadband network and that the industry will not be reformed.
