EDITOR'S NOTE

Is the Telstra submission a joke? That's the question on everybody's lips, given developments in the NBN bidding scheme. We look at this issue, and also report on Telstra spokesperson David Quilty's comments about Singtel Optus: according to Qulity, they're a 'sub-prime' bidder.

We round out our Telstra coverage with an interesting insider's look at the relationship between Telstra and Second Life. Sources assure iTnews that it's as solid as ever -- but why are other companies abandoning the site?

Lastly, $1,000 could be yours in our iTnews 2009 job survey -- but there are just days until it's over! Get your answers in before 3 December, and you could win $1,000 in cash.
