Challenges in front of Telstra

The rollout of its 5G network has been under the radar of the Australian watchdog, The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC). ACCC raised the concern that the rolling out of the 5G network in Australia would hinder Optus, the local unit of Singtel.

Regarding its digitisation plan, Telstra has recently extended its partnership with a global tech firm, Microsoft, for another five years. Under this strategic partnership, both companies would use each other’s capabilities to achieve digital transformation in Australia.

Moving to the customer experience part, while sharing the first half results for FY22, Andrew Penn, CEO, Telstra, highlighted that business digitisation and simplification are yielding positive results in terms of customer experience.

Penn added that the around four million customers are part of its reward program called Telstra Plus. There is a significant decline in the number of calls coming to the Consumer & Small Business contact centres, almost by 70%. By the end of FY22, the company expects to answer all these calls in Australia.
