uhh, no that isn't what I mean. What I mean is, over here, you have to let companies use your lines... and there is a cap on what you can charge them. Simply change the regulation there to where telestra has to open them up and has a capped maximum charge. Over here it works like that on all lines, from power lines to phone lines.

PS, that new chik PM of your's is pretty cute... i mean, as far as heads of state go. She sure beats Merkel

Oh I see.. Well I think it'd be a bit unfair to do that as Telstra owns most of the lines and paid for them to go in. If there was anything less than a monopoly I could see that system as working. I believe we have that system on gas and electric lines.

As for the PM, I think she should have made her move as soon as the ETS (emissions trading scheme) fell down. Hopefully she doesn't screw it up and can win the next election.

Edit: Pretty flattering photo there...
