As Australia struggles with the question of whether to build a new
national broadband network and with the Rudd Government promising
to spend $4.7 billion of taxpayers' money, it is an extremely
timely contribution to a crucial public debate. Written by an
industry insider who knows and has dealt with all the key players
in the broadband battles and interviewed many of them on and off
the record for this book. This title is filled with strong,
charismatic characters like Telstra's Sol Trujillo and Phil
Burgess, Telecommunications Ministers past and present Helen Coonan
and Stephen Conroy and Graeme Samuel, Chair of the ACCC. It
presents a gripping narrative of the twists and turns in a struggle
for control of a multi-billion dollar industry. The author will be
prominent in the media and will increasingly become a commentator
as this issue hots up even more. This title describes the
commercial and political battle between Telstra and everyone else
to control Australia's broadband infrastructure, a struggle that
escalates as the Government prepares to spend $4.7 billion on a new
broadband network.
