Abstract :
The author presents a critique of the present structure of Australian telecommunications. He argues that certain specific questions were ignored in an attempt to rapidly introduce network competition in Australia. Among these are: the benefits derived from maintaining the Telecom monopoly; the reasons for and the consequences of the telecommunications reform in the UK, US, Japan, and New Zealand markets; and the impact of competition on development of the Australian network, the Australian equipment industry, and commercial broadcasting
