    Primus is in a position to compete with T(H)elstra but it doesn't. It just plays follow the leader with it's Broadband and phone services pricing. If the ACCC lets T(H)elstra get away with this flagrant breach and use of it's monopoly powers, one has to wonder why have the ACCC at all??

    How can primus compete when they have to lease lines/equipment from telstra? Especially when telstra drops its retail prices to levels under its wholesale ones?
    At least primus is beginning to roll out its own exchange equipment so telstra stuff doesn't have to be leased, but a couple of hundred primus 'enabled' exchanges does not make a network.

    Telstra should be fined as much as possible.
    How long will the ACCC continue to cow-tow to telstra? The only way telstra's board will learn is if they get sacked because a $100million + fine enrages the shareholders.
    Thats who telstra have loyalty to, the shareholders, not the poor suckers known as customers!
