Thank you Senator Conroy for removing Telstra from the NBN process. For too long that company has been the bane of many Australians and a proverbial ball and chain on the telecommunications industry. Competition comes through choice and in the heart of Melbourne it frustrates me that I don't even have that, also my parents in Adelaide have a similar problem, yet they cant get basic broadband service. We can all choose our gas and electricity providers and change them if we so choose without lengthy down times let alone the 10-14+ days I would have to go without internet even if I had the choice to leave Telstra. An open access and independant network is worth to much to all us to leave in the hands of one corporation.
