Members of the telecommunications industry have responded with disappointment to the major political parties' abandonment of debate over the structural separation of Telstra.
The telco exodus which has plagued the Terria broadband consortium over the last week is now over, according to remaining members, who yesterday pledged their support as being "rock solid".
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.
Events this week highlighted the differing relationships which telcos have with the nation's former monopoly carrier.
Whatever strategy Telstra announced during the strategic review of its operations last week was always going to be controversial.
The inference that Soul, AAPT and TransACT were Dead Telcos Walking long before their withdrawals were announced makes me wonder whether Terria has always been, God help us all, just as flimsy a proposition as Telstra has made it out to be.
With all the excitement over the iPhone, few people have noticed that 1 July was the 11th anniversary of the deregulation of Australia's telecommunications market.
Will Internode's (sudden) and dramatic price hike for its broadband plans undo the G9's plans for an affordable, high-speed broadband network?
Yes, says iiNet, and the telco giant's price chains are keeping smaller players from venturing down the rural broadband route.
