Competition watchdog the ACCC has rejected a draft proposal by the Optus-led G9 consortium on building Australia's fibre-to-the-node network, despite giving the plan a cautious thumbs-up.
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.
A group of telcos preparing an alternative to Telstra's proposal to build a national fibre broadband network are set to release the fine detail of their plan in a couple of hours.
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.
The G9 consortium has announced its transformation into a new entity named Terria, ahead of lodging its AU$5 million bond with the government to bid on the national fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) network.
Australians have a right to know exactly what the G9 is planning.
Will Internode's (sudden) and dramatic price hike for its broadband plans undo the G9's plans for an affordable, high-speed broadband network?
