NBN should take over wireless networks. Telstra starts at $62 - which is far too much especially since everyone has wifi most of the day, and nobody else offers reliable service.
I would hazard that if you're going to move something to monopoly control: don't make it for-profit like the NBN is run. Make it a proper government service.
(The NBN's debt has to be paid off by the NBN, so they have to try and keep finding ways of paying it off. As opposed to just making it normal government debt and running the service as best as you can for the people)
EDIT: to quote the article itself:
