Telstra’s Dr Warren continued, saying: “While we mess around talking about separation our eyes are off the main game: getting a regulatory solution that will encourage the investment needed to get the NBN built.
 
“One international expert after another has looked at the Australian debate and come to the same conclusion: stop looking backwards to yesterday’s tools for yesterday's problems and start asking how you are going to ensure competition while bringing on new investment.
 
“It is clear that we need a new framework that protects competition through an open access regime policed by the ACCC but that also underpins the regulatory certainty and scope for competitive returns that investors need.
 
“Telstra is committed to open access. Telstra is committed to getting the NBN built if the regulatory settings are right. The people that instead want to talk about separation are simply seeking to delay the shift to high-speed broadband networks as it suits their own narrow commercial objectives,” Dr Warren concluded.

Ah, the good ol’ National Bluff Network. One of these days the Government will actually make a decision, and someone will start building it!

Until then, the nuclear blast-sized nastiness around the NBN will continue its fallout. Take cover!
