David Please....Little to do with it....

Optus is a major shareholder and has a great deal to do with Optus Vision
policy in regards to everything from billing to overhead cables.

You have a coordinated billing...In the future when I call Optus Vision I'll 
be able to ask questions in regards to my Optus long distance phone bill...separate
company?....No I don't think so....If that's the case, why is it considered an
internal transfer when an employee moves from North Sydney (Optus) to Chatswood
(Optus Vision)...

YOU provide much of the funding....YOU paid for the Rugby League battle to
get the rights for Optus Vision....

YOU came up with the idea to run the cables overhead with your buddies at Continental...

Don't lie to us David...It's an ugly thing...You're just trying to put a spin on 
the damage Optus Vision is inflicting on your reputation...It's too late...Brand
name recognition remember...

Go on...Deny any of what I've said....You can't....It's all true...If you think you can,
give your arguements and some proof...I've got mine...Go ahead David lie to us again...
