Telstra has started playing games, according to News.Com.Au. They have released a site called Now We Are Talking that is aimed to convince the public that there is too much regulations in the Australian Telecommunications Industry. They claim that they have to submit more than 750,000 pages of regulatory material each year. I suspect that a lot of this is their pricing documents. If they kept their prices more stagnant and did not keep adjusting products then this would be a lowere burden.

Also, the government have just announced that they are spening $1.5B to build some new generation capacity. This is about time, but I doubt if it will be enough… Maybe in the short term…
