    There are plenty of solutions. One good idea would be for the government to take control of the coppper infrastrucure etc. Giving all isp's and telephone companies a fairer playing field.

    Entry level of ADSL broad pricing factors in 500
    MB of download. What Telstra simply did is to
    position a version of the sevice to those who
    don't download that much (ie up to 200MB only
    customers).

    Remember that we are already paying too much for
    broadband compared to the rest of the 1St tier
    world where ADSL cost close to nothing in the US
    or free in the Benelux (Holland).

    ADSL is becoming the free entry level to increase
    size of online business transactions which lead to other revenues coming from ebusiness, shopping carts, payment gaterway, etc...

    Broandband brokers and resellers have to climb
    up the food chain sooner or later by bundling in other services because once Telstra is privatised, bandwidth will be commoditised.
