Burgess' deputy, Kate McKenzie, said Telstra is regulated to the extent to which it might prevent the company from deploying new services.

"Poor regulatory decisions oblige the board to question the wisdom of such decisions," McKenzie said. "Governments around the world are struggling to get the balance right [but] the balance is tipping towards letting the market decide, with promising results."
