 Telstra Communications Limited

Telstra Corporation Limited (known as Telstra) is an Australian telecommunications and media company which builds and operates telecommunications networks and marketing voice, mobile, internet access and pay television products and services.


Telstra has a long history in Australia, originating as a government department together with Australia Post. Relatively recently, Telstra was fully privatised and has been undergoing a change program to become more "sales and marketing led" under its current CEO, David Thodey.


The federal government's National Broadband Network agenda, as well as industry changes driven by mass adoption of the internet, are imposing further structural changes upon the company.
