Telstra seems to be doing it's darnest to scare away customers with its outrageous pricing plans for land line rentals. What I can't work out if this is deliberate or accidental - but I'm starting to think it's deliberate.
We've seen recent reports of people dropping Land Lines in favour of Cheap Mobiles and of VoIP using Broadband over Powerlines in TAS - all of which will eat into Telstra's bottom line. Why? Because if people choose Mobile over Land Lines, consumers go from a monopoly market to a very competative market - so many will NOT choose Telstra.
So what's the deal? Perhaps Telstra is trying to buy out of the Land Line market completely? Or at least put so much commercial pressure on it's existance that it forces the governments hand. Either way, I suspect more is at play than lousy business decisions.
