Horng-Woei Wang is a 27 year old who lives in Brisbane, QLD, and has been a Telstra shareholder since T1.

If I were Telstra’s CEO I would...I would make Telstra a very big international company with its roots deep in Australia.

If you asked me what I did, I'd say...Work full-time

I bought most of my Telstra shares in...T1

I bought Telstra shares because...It is an Australian icon and overall a good investment.

My first successful investment was...Colonial.

The best investment I ever made was...Commonwealth Bank shares, inherited from a merger of Colonial and CBA.

What I learned from my worst investment decision...Cash is NOT king.

The best investment advice I’ve ever been given...Save up all the tax cuts and pay rises into superannuation. Its doubled in the last 5 years.

How I use telecommunications now...NextG Mobile, Internet, Fixed Line and Foxtel.

How I see the future of telecommunications in Australia...Without a strong investment in broadband infrastructures and archaic regulatory regimes in place, it is unlikely Australia will be internationally competitive.
