Telstra and the Federal Government have today overcome a 14-month 
impasse over its higher-speed broadband network after the company gained 
regulatory certainty, in an agreement which will provide up to 2.4 
million homes and businesses with faster broadband speeds.

In a major breakthrough ahead of talks over plans for an $8 billion 
national fibre-optic network, the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, and 
Telstra's chief executive, Sol Trujillo, announced the switch-on of the 
company's entire ADSL2+ fixed-line network in Canberra this morning.
