Telstra executives are optimistic Australia's competition watchdog will soon informally clear its 3G network alliance with Hutchison 3G Australia as the partners signed binding agreements to proceed with the deal.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission this morning confirmed it had granted Telstra a two-day extension of time to respond to a consultation notice over its recent broadband price cuts.
Australia's competition watchdog has asked for submissions on whether changes made by Telstra to its wholesale ADSL broadband pricing plans justify removal of a notice alleging the telecommunications company was breaching competition rules.
Telecommunications companies are calling on the competition watchdog not to give Telstra a get out of jail free card by lifting a potentially financially damaging legal notice over its broadband pricing.
Telstra today confirmed the fibre to the node (FTTN) component of its Next Generation Network (NGN) would remain on hold after the government opted not to intervene to allow the carrier to restrict third-party access to its planned new infrastructure.
