Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
For the second time in a week communications minister, Senator Helen
Coonan, has felt the need to issue a statement in response to the
public pronouncements of Telstra executives, the latest a speech from
it feisty new CEO, Sol Trujillo. Trujillo delivered a lengthy speech
yesterday to a Telstra Country Wide Advisory board meeting in which he
complained about the regulatory shackles on Telstra and the high costs
of compliance.
In her statement Coonan reminded the public of how much Telstra has
benefited in recent time from Government largesse aimed at boosting
rural communications. "Telstra has received close to $120 million to
expand its CDMA mobile phone network, $150 million to provide untimed
local calls to some of the remotest parts of Australia and Telstra is a
major provider of subsidised broadband services under the Government's
$158 million Higher Bandwidth Incentive Scheme (HiBIS)."
Last Thursday she went into damage control mode after Telstra received
widespread publicity for its comments on the unsustainability of the
USO scheme.
