Listen to Paul Fletcher preview the recent broadband announcement, on Radio National Breakfast

""...

Provides a definitive history of what has driven telecommunicationsand broadband policy

and, so the book argues, its failures.""

CommsDay ""Fletcher provides plenty of insights into the complex telco world, its major players and how they play the policy-making game.""Business Spectator ""For anyone who has ever wondered why internet speeds are so much faster whenthey're overseas, why Telstra seems to charge such high prices, why a Foxtelcable doesn't snake past their house, why they have a patchy, sub-standard internet connection - or why Rudd and co. have bet the farm on a $43 billion Rolls-Royce - the answers are provided here.""The Canberra Times
