Companies fight over the One.
Since the spectacular implosion of One. Tel, other secondary players in the telecommunications industry have renewed their clamor for industry reform. They say that Telstra's continuing market power and control over Australian networks is strangling smaller telcos. Primus Telecom's founder and chief executive, Ravi Bhatia, wasted no time in blaming Telstra for One. It reduces the profit margin of the company which is trying to compete, and it makes them lose customers.
