NBN's new leader may be in a takeover mood - The Drum (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

NBN's new leader may be in a takeover mood - The Drum (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): "NBN head honcho Ziggy Switkowski will have to negotiate with the company he used to run for the use of its copper network - and the evidence suggests might be looking to buy it outright, writes Alan Kohler.

The NBN has the potential to significantly transform not only the Australian telecommunications industry, but the social and economic landscape of our country.
Together, we are delivering a nation-building project and we should all be very proud of that.
- Ziggy Switkowski, NBN executive chairman, in a memo to staff yesterday.
Ziggy Switkowski was an interesting choice to take over the NBN. Telstra basically sacked him nine years ago for having too ambitious a growth strategy; his troop-rallying words in the staff memo yesterday suggest that he's not short of ambition for the new telecommunications company that he's now in charge of either."
