Lou Geradts is a retiree who lives in Melbourne, VIC, and has been a Telstra shareholder since the first float.

If I were Telstra’s CEO I would...Continue to sign up new members for BigPond at the half price rate. Then I would reward the current members with say, an extra free 100 Mb of download for the same period.

If you asked me what I did, I'd say...Retired

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

I bought Telstra shares because...It looked like an opportunity to earn some extra income in my retirement.

My first successful investment was...Qantas.

The best investment I ever made was...Buying our first and only home.

What I learned from my worst investment decision...Don't get greedy.

The best investment advice I’ve ever been given...I haven't any.

How I use telecommunications now...Phone, Mobile Phone and BigPond.

How I see the future of telecommunications in Australia...It can only go up.
