Chapter 742 Australian Telecommunications Market

Of course, if you want to achieve Barron's idea, the children's mother's wishes, or persuasion, are the first prerequisite.

Among them, the more important thing is to obtain Bonnie's consent - although the two have divorced and Bonnie is Barron's ex-wife, she still occupies the most position in Barron's heart.

After his week-long vacation at Naira Island, Barron returned directly to Australia.

"So besides the children you have now, do you have other children?"

After hearing Barron's words, Bonnie rolled her eyes at Barron rather speechlessly and said.

"Uh, honey, those were all accidents..."

Although Bonnie and Barron are now divorced, Barron's children were all born during the existence of their marriage...

Even though she had expected his philandering, now that she knew this, Bonnie couldn't be happier.

At this time, what could Barron do? He could only coax her with sweet words.

"No matter what, you are the most important in my heart, baby. Even if I hope that the children can live together, I respect your thoughts more than this..."

Barron held Bonnie in his arms and said softly.

"You bastard, and you want me to be the villain?"

Although she was held in her arms, Bonnie still had a cold face and turned to one side, not looking at Barron. She did look very emotional.

"Of course not, honey, I just care about your feelings..."

"If you care about my feelings, then you shouldn't have had so many children in the first place..."

At this time, Barron also knew that if he continued to reason, the effect would be little, not to mention that he owed something in this matter...

So he directly carried Bonnie to the bed and physically put her into bed...

Before the end of March, after O2 Telecom acquired Optus, the Australian subsidiary of Lijiapo Telecom Group, for US$1.2 billion, they once again acquired telecommunications company iiNet for A$1 billion (equivalent to about US$800 million).

Through the previously acquired Australian subsidiary of Lijiapo Telecom Group, O2 Telecom successfully entered the Australian market. In this market, Optus is the second largest telecom operator after Telstra. iiNet is a telecommunications operator that provides fixed broadband services to users. After completing the acquisition of these two companies, O2 Telecom has consolidated their broadband users in the Australian market.

And through its operating experience in Europe and North America, O2 Telecom will continue to upgrade the mobile communications and broadband networks of the two acquired companies in Australia, and begin to cooperate with other Australian companies including Telstra through more favorable packages. Telecom operators compete.

It can be said that Australia, which was originally a penal colony for European prisoners, does have unique advantages.

After successfully turning the indigenous people here into "minorities" through the traditional skills of white Europeans, they were imprisoned in the reservation. The remaining residents lived in this sparsely populated land rich in resources. , it can be said that one can live a high-quality life just by selling minerals.

"In the next few years, the Australian government will have a plan to build high-speed optical fiber. To this end, they will invest at least 30 billion Australian dollars. Users will improve facilities within the country and build an ultra-high-speed optical fiber broadband network covering the entire country, and we can also join Into this plan..."

Giorgio Lamson is the CEO of O2 Telecom Australia. Before that, he served as a senior executive at the Australian subsidiary of Lijiapo Telecom Group. At that time, as a monopoly telecommunications company in Australia, Telstra had Their development brings great pressure.

Now with the strong support of the parent company O2 Telecom, Giorgio has also become ambitious about the development of the Australian branch.

Prior to this, Australia's mobile communications market Telstra held a 45% share, Optus held a 35% share, Vodafone Australia held a 15% share, and Hutchison held a 5% share. These four They are Australia's four largest mobile communications operators.

After Optus was transferred to O2 Telecom, O2 Telecom's Australian branch added a large number of iiNet's broadband users. Although there is still some distance compared with Telstra, it has been able to tie for the top two with it. Let's break it down. Wrist.

Of course, in the field of fixed communications, Telstra still has great advantages. They occupy more than 80% of the fixed-line market share. Therefore, before this, Telstra was very overwhelming in the fixed-line and broadband fields.

However, now we have entered the era of high-speed optical fiber, and broadband companies such as TPG and iiNet are also gradually developing in the broadband market.

Therefore, the Australian branch of O2 Telecom is currently able to compete for the Telstra user market through preferential family packages that combine broadband and mobile communications. As long as it can provide more cost-effective services, users will naturally understand how to choose.

As Telstra, which dominates the Australian market, generally speaking, their response speed is relatively slow...

"Mr. Potter, I'm sorry to take up your time, but there are some things I need to talk to you about."

In a cafe in Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, a tall blonde beauty said to the slightly bald middle-aged white man in a suit and tie sitting in front of her.

"It would be my pleasure, Miss Kahn."

The identity of the woman named Hedda Kahn in front of him at this time was not simple. She was the assistant to Ivanta TP, the chairman of the well-known investment company IC Capital. Therefore, although she was a congressman from Maryland, But Billy Porter was still very polite to Haida. After all, when he ran for parliament, the committee funded by IC Capital also made a large donation to him.

Therefore, Billy Porter would be very happy to give the other party some "reward" within his ability. After all, these financial backers all need to be maintained.

"It's about a case, and it can't be said to be a case. As far as we know, the state Attorney General, Mr. Harrington Porter, is investigating the accidental death of Mr. David Johnson, the former chairman of the Sinclair Group. Of course, Ms. TP does not want to interfere and is willing to provide as much help as she can, but the only thing is that as a shareholder of Sinclair Group, Ms. TP knows the importance of this group to Maryland, and she does not want to do it because of some unwarranted Suspicion affects the normal operations of the group, so we hope that Sinclair Group will not become the center of public opinion due to some speculation until convincing evidence is obtained.”

"Ms. TP's concerns are indeed very reasonable. Miss Kahn, I will pay attention to this matter and urge them not to act rashly."

Billy Porter would not directly inquire about the Attorney General's work, but it would be easy to pass on the connection through some personal relationships.
