Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard released confidential details on the government’s planned high-speed Internet plan to try to gain support for a related law to split Telstra Corp.’s businesses.
Gillard released part of NBN Co.’s corporate plan, boosted consumer protection in the planned national network and established a committee to oversee its rollout as part of an agreement with independent Senator Nick Xenophon. This clears the way for a vote on the Telstra law in the Senate today.
