Telstra Corporation Limited is the largest telecommunication and media company in Australia which sells a wide range of services like mobile, voice, ADSL internet, Cable internet, retail internet, mobile broadband, Digital TV subscriptions and many more. Before being a big company of what it has achieved now, this company was a government department which originated from the Australia Post but was now privatized and is aggressively focusing on increasing its international markets under its new management.


By partnering with San Miguel Corporation, one of the biggest conglomerate in the Philippines, Telstra would be a strong contender to dominate the telecoms market. If this partnership from San Miguel and Telstra push through, this would definitely benefit consumers by making internet and mobile phone prices lower in the near future.
