A plan by Telstra's major rivals to build their own national fibre to the node (FTTN) broadband network appears to be moving at a glacial pace.
A group of nine telcos annoyed about Telstra's plans to build a national fibre network has stepped up its lobbying efforts to convince the government and competition regulator of the folly of Telstra's plans.
update: Telecom New Zealand announced today that it will acquire PowerTel, valuing the Australian business and wholesale telco at AU$357 million.
Are ISPs without their own last-mile access infrastructure "vulnerable" in the current market or is their position rock solid?
Telstra has denied it is being inflexible by deciding against a fibre to the node network (FTTN) deployment until the right regulatory environment comes into play, a senior executive said.
