EDITOR'S NOTE

Good Afternoon,

It's been a Blue Monday for Telstra.

The carrier's bean counters will be sizing up the legal bill from its failed bid to raise access prices to its copper network. They will also be smarting from the loss of one of the company's biggest local government customers in a $60m win for Optus.

Our third story quotes Senator Conroy on the ABC's 'Inside Business', in which he discusses his desire to work with Telstra on the NBN - if the price is right.
