    Poor choice of words! Keith Styles -- 08/02/07

    Your reporter refers to Telstra being ripped off for it's broadband network access and infrastructure!

    Please do your research, before misleading everyone.

    What Telstra is bitching about is the charge the ACCC has declared is sufficient for it's LSS. That charge has been set at $3.20/mth.
    It has nothing to do with Telstra's Broadband Service. It's the 2 wires from the exchange to the consumer premises.
    Telstra has tried to smooz & fudge the costs it is supposed to incur for these 2 wires. It has been double dipping & it's been caught out, at last.

    Another $1m wasted by the yanks in charge of our communications network.

    The word filter! Keith Styles -- 09/02/07 (in reply to #320074389)

    It needs a jab of common sense. The word it blanked out was: b*i*t*c*h*ing which is a common Australian expression. Nothing wrong with it & it is appropriate in the sentence.
    What it did do, is make the word look even pornographic. Not a good look!!!!

    High Court of Australia. Sydney Lawrence -- 13/02/07 (in reply to #320074389)

    Keith... why you would need to resort to vulgarity to try to make your point is beyond me. You say that the ACCC makes a determination on the price Telstra will charge its opposition to supply a service. This is the basis for the Telstra application to the High Court of Australia and will be determed by the honourable people who comprise our High Court, and will deliver a decision free of influence of the Howard Government or the ACCC. I would wonder who would know better what price should be charged for this service than the company involved, Telstra.
