NSW: Coonan joins calls to speed up switch to fast broadband

Communications Minister HELEN COONAN has joined the Australian competition watchdog
.. in calling for Telstra boss SOL TRUJILLO to flick the switch on fast-speed broadband.

She's told a conference on broadband services in Sydney .. she backs calls by Australian
Competition and Consumer Commission chairman GRAEME SAMUEL .. for the upgrade of ADSL
services already available to 91 per cent of the country.

Mr SAMUEL says Telstra should stop using regulatory constraints as an excuse not to
offer high-speed broadband to more people.
