Telstra's $11 billion deal with NBN Co might not be enough to make up for revenue losses it will sustain in its long-term transition away from its tightly integrated structure, local analyst firm Telsyte argued in a research note posted yesterday.

Telsyte said the money seemed reasonable at first glance.
'However, it may not adequately compensate the company for the inevitable loss of market share it wil suffer when moving from a tightly integrated monopoly to being a competitor in a new oligopoly market structure,' Telsyte managing director Mevan Jayatilleke said.
