After taking a massive swipe at Optus last week Telstra is at it again this time they are snapping at the ankles of Terra a consortium of 8 telecommunication Companies who are bidding along with Telstra for billions in Federal Government funding to build a (NBN) National Broadband Network.
Telstra today said it was time for Terria to get serious about building an (NBN) or get out of the way.
Incoming Group Managing Director for Public Policy & Communications, David Quilty, said today's revelation by Michael Simmons that Terria had not settled on its vendors was a further demonstration it was simply not serious about building the NBN.
Derived from Terra Australis, Terria chairman Michael Egan said that their consortium could deliver 98 per broadband coverage to Australians. "Building a world-class NBN is the biggest and most complex engineering project this country has ever seen," Mr Quilty said.
"It is absolutely astounding that at this stage of proceedings, Terria has not settled on a technology or even turned its mind to who its vendors will be.
Mr Simmons' startling revelation came hot on the heels of Chairman Michael Egan's bizarre comments last week about Terria's NBN financing.
