		For one thing, Telecom is in the process of standardizing LANs, which Cicero obviously depends on.

		Telecom's MobileNet AMPS network is one of the largest in the world, and it provides good coverage of the more remote parts of the country, because the AMPS technology is ideal for large open-spaces with light population densities.
		Telecom was told to act as a commercial organisation, to make profits, and to be prepared to meet a newer competitor without the legacy of old debt for old equipment.So it also made sense for Telecom to use as much of the windfall profits they made from long-distance calls to increase their dominance.
		Telecom was (and still is) skimming off the cream itself on long-distance calls, as it has done for most of a decade.

	Roger Clarke's 'The Internet in Australia'
		The early history of academic use of the Internet in Australia is traced, prior to the first watershed in June 1989, and the second in May 1994.
		This document is in part the story of how the Internet in Australia emerged despite the slowness of the public telecommunications commission, Telecom, then corporation, Telstra, to adapt to the demands for, and to nurture the opportunities presented by, data transmission.
		This was variously regarded as the salvation of the Internet in Australia, a commercially realistic negotiation, a necessary transition, a give-away by the AVCC, a sell-out by the AVCC, and/or a naked grab by Telstra for commercial control of the Internet in Australia (Fist 1997).
