Uecomm is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Optus.. http://www.uecomm.com.au/ this should be added? (--unknown user)
This page needs some significant corrections and updates. For example, I'm pretty sure Optus' first product was mobile telephony services, via resale of Telstra's AMPS network. Also it would be nice to get a more accurate date of their inception - I've only just corrected this from "1980's" to "1990's". The Communications in Australia article actually has a significantly more complete and accurate account of Optus' early history than appears on this page.
There's no mention of their former XYZed business (now fully merged), providing business xDSL services via their own DSLAMs in Telstra exchanges, nor the current rollout of newer DSLAMs to provide retail and wholesale residential ADSL and telephony services. This is quite significant to both the company and the telecommunications environment in Australia generally. Also no mention of Southern Cross Cable, of which they own some 40%.
Meanwhile what's listed as "subsidiaries" are mostly now fully integrated into the company, giving an inaccurate impression.
I'll try to do a little research first to get the right story before updating.

Have since added new sections on Infrastructure and Subsidiaries to address the most glaring issues. What used to be labelled "Subsidiaries" I've renamed to "Overview" for the time being. Some of it is now redundant... the most coherent future I can think for it is a brief overview of the services provided... although you'd want to avoid advertising.
