Its exclusion from the National Broadband Network appears to have taken Telstra by surprise, but it certainly won't be taken lying down, and there are many hurdles to another bidder getting a green light, and the funding to rollout the NBN.

So when the TIO, concerned by the rapidly escalating volume of complaints, launches a campaign and promises to work with the industry to get the numbers down, what does Telstra do?
