Australia's largest telecom, the company revealed the new policy in a blog post by Chief Risk Officer Kate Hughes. A form will be made available to customers starting April 1 st through Telstra's Privacy Portal, which will allow simple requests to be made and processed for "around $25." Requests covering multiple services or extended periods "will be charged at an hourly rate." "This is the same practice of cost recovery that is applied to requests from law enforcement agencies," Hughes says. Telstra published its first ever transparency report in March 2014, and has also posted information on metadata and its corporate responsibilities to law enforcement.
