Telstra Corporation Limited - Historic company analysis

Synopsis

This report was archived in July 2007 and was last updated in March 2004. It contains a collection of personal analyses by Paul Budde of the various developments that have been taken place over the last few years in the areas of e-services, infrastructure and the company’s international activities. Most of these analyses draw attention to the lack of effective planning exercised by Telstra over the years, its preoccupation with non-core activities, its disregard for the welfare of Australia, the decline in the quality of the Australian telecommunication infrastructure as a result, and the consequent inability of Telstra to effectively provide a suitable infrastructure for emerging requirements such as broadband. Analyses up until 2001 are listed. More recent analyses are provided in separate reports.
