Telstra set to axe 1400 jobs

Telstra Corporation Ltd


TLS Details

Telstra will axe about 1400 jobs across the country as part of a huge cost-cutting drive that could wipe out nearly five per cent of its entire workforce. Employees across all divisions - including in the telecommunication giant's vast field workforce of line technicians, maintenance and installation workers - are all feared to be in danger of losing their jobs.

Recently, The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has finalized its decision on the regulation of high-speed internet services supplied by non-NBN (National Broadband Network) fixed line networks. The networks largely supply high-speed internet services in new housing estates and apartment buildings in central city locations. In many areas, they supply internet services where the NBN does not offer services and provide customers with a limited choice of retailers of internet services. The ACCC’s decision sets wholesale prices and other terms and conditions that are expected to provide customers with a larger number of retailers to choose from and deliver them better prices and services. Further, the ACCC has permitted the non-NBN networks to pass on the Government’s proposed Regional Broadband Scheme (RBS) charge on their customer lines to help fund NBN Co’s supply of non-commercial regional fixed wireless and satellite services. On the other hand, the recent ACCC’s draft decision on mobile roaming services was considered as a positive and is not expected to affect TLS retail mobile prices to a significant extent. We maintain a “Buy” recommendation on the stock at the current market price of $ 4.36
