Telstra's uncomfortable reality
Dec 19, 2012 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) --
Dominant Australian telco Telstra and CEO David Thodey face a number of challenges, even as the share price in late 2012 has recovered substantial ground. Bidding for new digital frequency spectrum in a Federal Government auction to run mobile telephony services could cost $A1.9bn, while the main issue will be the outcome of the next election during 2013. Should the Opposition win, Telstra's lucrative deal with NBN Co on the roll-out of the national broadband network, worth $A20bn over 10 years, may need to be restructured. Thodey will be assisted by newly appointed CFO Andy Penn.
