CEO Sol Trujillo declined to comment on why the whole network was not being upgraded or on when that might occur, saying it was "a question of cost and marketing strategies." The announcement produced a swift response from communications minister, Helen Coonan who used it to attack the ALP's plan for a Government-funded $4.7 billion FTTN rollout. “Telstra has invested in a fixed high speed broadband network in commercial metropolitan areas and it has done so without any taxpayer funding and most importantly without winding back competition and consumer regulatory safeguards,” Senator Coonan said. “Telstra’s cable broadband network will provide speeds nearly three times faster than Labor’s $4.7 billion fibre-to-the-node plan."{moscomment}
