I think it was just a misunderstanding. It would sound scary to Americans because they are capitalists where something like this happening is like some kind of infringement on their rights or some such. However Telstra was originally a state owned company and was sold off in 1997 and ever since has been the bane of peoples existence. It was a bad move to sell it and even a worse move to sell the infrastructure as well.
