    As an owner and manager of an ...Anonymous -- 10/03/05

    As an owner and manager of an ISP I am furious as to the final outcomes. Telstra's price fixing has directly affected our ADSL business so much so that over the last 18 months we have churned most of our users to another supplier in order to survive. Our Wholesale pricing was substantially more than Bigpond Retail and the whole logistical exercise cost us substantially.
    This whole case was about ISP's such as us.

    However, it is a joke to think that Telstra will pay the 6.5M back to ISPs.

    Today we received formal advice for our Telstra Account Manager that we will will not get any compensation at all due to a small technicality. Because of the type of ADSL product we were buying from Telstra our case is not applicable.

    This act can only be equated to criminal offense. If someone has a better choice of words please let me know .....
