Telstra's plan B

"The difficulty for Telstra and NBN Co is that the gap between them is
substantial. NBN Co places a value of less than $8 billion on access to
Telstra’s infrastructure and customers while Telstra’s asking price is
said to be closer to $12 billion. The size of that gap brings the
functional separation option into play."
