Their new infrastructure is described here:

It's quite possible that the person(s) running Squid for Telstra left, and
their replacement didn't have a clue so they recommended that the
infrastructure just be replaced - hey, it's happened before...
Who cares, anyway?! They're like any really large organisation looking to
decouple their infrastructure/services from the people who run them (so as
staff changes occur, service delivery can continue).
Connect claims to have Australia's largest/busiest cache anyway and they're
using Squid:

Many other "large organisations" (though obviously not as much traffic as a
tier-1 provider) are still deploying Squid proxies.
Cheers..
