Telstra responds to Fairfax

Telstra has, in part, responded to Fairfax CEO David Kirk's comments yesterday.

 "If David Kirk thinks we have a broadband drought because there is too little competition, he has played too much football without a helmet," he said.

They've also threatened a class action lawsuit if the government forces Telstra to allow access to a new high-speed network by competitors .

Heaven forbid that a monopoly created in part by Australian tax-payer's money be leveraged to help benefit those Australians!
