Abstract
Telstra, the Australian state-owned telecommunications and information services company, offers fixed and mobile phone services, and Internet access.

In order to reduce its debts and turn the company around, the Australian government decided to privatise it. As well as enabling the students to discuss the reasons for Telstra''s troubles, this case also triggers discussion on the pros and cons of privatising Telstra and the possible alternatives to turnaround the company.
