Well that quote in February, didn't take long to be confirmed.$7.40 is still a long way off and the ACCC is still sitting waiting to pounce, if Telstra start getting a major market share, or start making too much money. Lol
Telstra partners with Elon Musk’s Starlink
Telstra has signed an agreement to become the first telco globally to offer rural broadband and voice services with Elon Musk’s satellite provider Starlink.
Expected to launch in late 2023 with pricing to be confirmed, Telstra chief executive Vicki Brady said the offering would provide additional connectivity options for people and businesses where distance and terrain made it difficult to reach with existing networks.
Currently, customers wanting Starlink services need to deal with the company directly. Starlink is thought to have around 100,000 Australian customers, and 1.5 million customers globally.
“Telstra is always looking to invest in new and better connectivity options for our customers. We know that collaborating with the right partners is one of the best ways to help unlock a digital future, in this case for people in rural and remote Australia looking for an improved voice or broadband service,” Ms Brady said on Monday.
“Our teams have been out across the country testing and trialling Low Earth Orbit satellite technology to ensure we understand where it’s the best solution for our consumer and business customers.
“What will set our offer apart is the addition of Telstra voice service, a professional install option and the ability to get local help with your set-up if needed.
“In addition, this agreement will also provide connectivity options for our business customers in Australia and overseas, as a higher bandwidth business grade option in areas without fixed and mobile connectivity.”
Starlink, a low earth orbit satellite system owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, was launched in Australia in 2021 and offers unlimited data for $139 per month along with a hardware fee of about $900. Its speeds are similar to that of NBN’s 100Mbps plans.
Statistics in February previously reported by The Australian showed some 10,000 users ditched NBN’s satellite products over the last 12 months, switching to rival options including Starlink.
NBN critics have questioned whether NBN Co’s Sky Muster service could essentially be made obsolete by other options like Starlink, which have proved attractive to some rural customers who were previously experiencing poor speeds and struggling with strong internet coverage.
Telstra shares last traded at $4.30.

Possibly should be in the Tesla thread, rather than the Telstra thread, just a guess.Tesla Starts Selling Model Y in South Korea for About $45,000
Tesla (TSLA) has begun selling its Model Y rear-wheel drive vehicle in South Korea at about 57 million won ($45,010), multiple media reported on Friday, citing the company's website.
The sports utility vehicle price makes it eligible for the maximum rate of government subsidies, Reuters reported.
With the subsidies, the price of Chinese-made Model Y drops to about $37,000 in Seoul and to $30,000 in some cities offering additional incentives for electric vehicles, Bloomberg reported.
The car has a driving range of 350 kilometers and is available for delivery between August and September, Reuters reported.
The only Model Y cars previously available in the country were the dual-motor performance and long-range versions, Bloomberg reported.

Possibly should be in the Tesla thread, rather than the Telstra thread, just a guess.
I know exactly what you mean, happens to me all the time.That's what happens when you're doing three things at once; cracking a stout, watching the Matildas vs France game, answering the wifes questions while posting.
JohnDe strikes again.
was tempted to jump in again , but remembered there is still a desire for TLS and NBN to combineAny comments on the drop in the TLS share price since the announcements of a couple of days ago?
The whole market is falling, why should Telstra be any different?Any comments on the drop in the TLS share price since the announcements of a couple of days ago?
My telstra service is slow as a snail. I'm guessing all the additional traffic is maxing out telstra networks. I'm currently working off a wifi hotspot and I may as well be on dial-up.Telstra up 1.3%
Surely they will do well out of this Optus debacle. Singtel down nearly 5%.
Don't own.
Argh, ESG... from what I've seen it's all about the money and the higher the ESG ranking, the more one is ticked as A-OK thus, readily availabe finance is splashed all over the place.My telstra service is slow as a snail. I'm guessing all the additional traffic is maxing out telstra networks. I'm currently working off a wifi hotspot and I may as well be on dial-up.
I don't think this is good for anyone. Corporations are just worried about how many ESG points they can score, actual business operations have not been a thing for probably a decade now. We're only just beginning to see what happens when you are large scale corporate and governance rot.
I suspect Telstra could just as easily be in the same boat and they are absolutely shi*tting themselves right now realizing they probably sacked anyone who knows anything years ago.
Single point of failure. Reeks of lack of engineering and willingness to invest.My telstra service is slow as a snail. I'm guessing all the additional traffic is maxing out telstra networks. I'm currently working off a wifi hotspot and I may as well be on dial-up.

Also I heard in the news that they got rid of over 600 technical staff a year ago. You reap what you sow. The lawyers should have a field day but I have no pity.
