From the short list of tender companies left Telstra is the only one with the expertise and suitably skilled manpower available to carry out the build. Just depends if the Government want to fork out more to Telstra.
The other issue is if they use another company without the skill set it will be a huge cost blow out trying to entice a skilled workforce to join the company. Not many companies other than Telstra carry a large permanent workforce of electronic/ communication techs.
Also as they are jumping onto Telstras existing infrastructure Telstra are very familiar with it and drawings, schematics and equipment compatibility issues are readily available to Telstra.
Time will tell but it becomming more and more obvious that Conroy and his croneys are out of their depths and I think Telstras the only hope to save them from drowning.
