CCC executive director, David Forman said: "Telstra's responses so far to concerns about the implications of the proposal, and the lack of detail of the how it intended to proceed, have created as many questions as they has answered. Team Trujillo needs to understand that Australian taxpayers subsidised the rollout of the CDMA network, and deserve a say in its future."
The CCC says the enquiry should examine: the details of Telstra's proposed network switch; the feasibility, including questions such as the availability of handsets and appropriate spectrum; limitations on Telstra's plan under the terms of the public subsidies and grants it has received; the impact on consumers in rural, regional and metropolitan areas; and the impact on competition in rural, regional and metropolitan areas.
