Telstra stirs up the bush over basic phone services
4 Aug 2005
Farming sector lobby groups are up in arms over the escalation by Telstra of its rhetoric, in which the telco says the subsidies to support services in the bush are inadequate, and that other telcos should also share the burden. AgForce Queensland said Telstra’s telephone repair performance rates in rural Australia have dropped by five per cent in recent years, and there are more faults being fixed at slower rates. The National Farmers Federation called for “strong legislation that guarantees ‘future proofing’ and regular reviews of telecommunications service in rural Australia.”
