Can Telstra do it again?

Article Abstract:

The Australian government is preparing for a second round of selling another 16.6% of its interest in telecommunications company Telstra Corp., but some fear that the government's majority ownership will limit Telstra's growth. In 1999, Telstra is expected to earn more than $3.5 billion. Telstra's main growth areas are mobile phones and data/Internet transmission. The government's requirement to retain a 51.1% holding in Telstra limits the company's share raising or equity swaps.
