Fed: Telstra excluded from broadband project

CANBERRA, Dec 15 AAP - Telstra has been excluded from the national broadband network
tender process after being informed its bid fails to meet some of the project's stated
requirements.

The telco says it was excluded because its proposal did not include a plan on how to
involve small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the building of the network.

The move to exclude Telstra leaves just five bidders for the multi-billion dollar project.
