Australian Senate passes bill to split Telstra in two, pushes National Broadband Network closer to reality

The future of Australian's Labor Party-backed National Broadband Network is looking much brighter today.

The House of Representatives will weigh in on Monday, with all signs pointing to passage there as well. The opposition party and its A$6.3 billion proposal? A lost packet.
