Telstra once retained ownership of the fixed-line telephone network, but since the nationwide upgrade to the National Broadband Network (NBN), the Australian Government now has legal ownership of these lines since 2007, though Telstra has played a big part in this upgrade supplying resources to the government, which has earned Telstra priority on the new network. Telstra has faced competition since the early 1990s from Optus (Australia's second largest communication company) and a number of smaller providers. The corporation then traded under the "Telstra" brand internationally and "Telecom Australia" domestically until uniform branding of "Telstra" was introduced throughout the entire organisation in 1995. The name "Telstra" is derived from the word Telecom Australia (TEL from Telecom and STRA from Australia). The AOTC was renamed to Telstra Corporation Limited in 1993. In 1992, the Overseas Telecommunications Commission, a separate government body established in 1946, was merged with the Australian Telecommunications Corporation into the short-lived Australian and Overseas Telecommunications Corporation (AOTC) which continued trading under the established identities of Telecom and OTC. In 1989, the ATC was reconstituted as the Australian Telecommunications Corporation. The Australian Telecommunications Commission (ATC), trading as Telecom Australia, ran domestic telecommunication services. Responsibility for postal services was transferred to the Australian Postal Commission (Australia Post).
