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.
Analysts harp on about the danger to Telstra’s margins if regulatory reforms impose functional or even structural separation.
However, it could also legitimately be argued that there is just as great a —perhaps greater— danger for Telstra in trying to maintain the status quo.
Many believe that Telstra’s special position in the Australian telecommunications market space has made the company lazy and lacking in vision and innovation.
Instead of looking ahead and transitioning to new technologies and services, Telstra has been focused on protecting existing legacy businesses at all costs.
As a result, the widespread perception is that Telstra has held back development of the Australian (and its own) broadband infrastructure.
Telstra has hurt itself with government confrontations under Trujillo’s reign. Under Thodey, many would like to see a fresh approach.
