Vodafone has called on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to ease several regulations governing the Australian mobile phone industry.
Key decisions about competition in Australia's telecommunications industry are expected this week.
The nation's competition regulator has given Telstra until 27 January next year to justify a recent rise in the line rental prices it charges its wholesale customers.
Telstra will appeal the competition regulator's decision to reject the telco's proposed pricing scheme for wholesale access to its copper network by competitors.
Telstra's competitors have welcomed a move by the nation's competition regulator to restrain what it sees as anti-competitive pricing behaviour, but the heavyweight claims its prices are "fair and justified".
Competition in Australia's Internet ADSL market is heating up just weeks after the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission announced plans that will make it easier for service providers to get access to Telstra's copper network.
Is Australia leading or lagging in the broadband stakes? Well, it depends on who you ask.
Australia's competition regulator has warned it will act to ensure technological innovations that pose a serious threat to Telstra's dominance of the telecommunications sector are not "strangled at birth".
