    I was so tempted to say that early this year when Telstra mind me because they wouldn’t swap my new and faulty mobile phone because I didn’t have the sodding box for it.

    Everyone know how and horrible Telstra are now, slow internet at criminally extautionate prices, bad mobile phone plans and generally badly run operated and managed. The telecommunications industry in Australia has turned to absolute shit.

    That was Sol Tujillo’s plan to make Austarlia more like the strangled telcos in the U.S. The fact that he’s gone proves Oz is a resilient nation with it’s own identity that no weher else can match.

    Telecom lost this logo around 1992-93 and then finally switched to ‘Telstra’ in July 1994.

    I haven’t seen that old Telecom logo since at least early 1996 when Telecom changed their name to Telstra. I remember that Telecom used to have their own brand of mobile phones, my stepdad once had a Telecom Walkabout, I don’t believe Telstra rebrand any mobile phones anymore.
