Telstra chief executive David Thodey has promised to push ahead with promoting his company’s wireless services despite the $11 billion deal between the telco and the National Broadband Network Co (NBN Co).

 

The deal, signed last week, stipulates in its anti-sledging clause that Telstra may not market its wireless broadband services as a substitute for the NBN’s broadband services.

 

Mr Thodey has brushed off the clause, describing it as a “very, very specific” constraint to his company.

 

"The only constraint, and it's a very, very minor constraint, is to directly put a little pamphlet into someone's house that says 'do not buy NBN fixed broadband, buy our wireless broadband instead'. That's the only constraint," Mr Thodey told the ABC’s Inside Business program.
