Telstra today launched a Federal Court legal challenge to a recent notice issued by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) which accused the telco of anti-competitive actions.
update: The Federal Court has found the national competition regulator did not treat Telstra fairly when slugging the telco with a competition notice 12 months ago. The ACCC has expressed disappointment with the ruling.
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".
Arch-rivals Optus and Telstra will face off in court tomorrow as the SingTel subsidiary gets an initial hearing of its claim Telstra unfairly raised wholesale line rental prices in December last year.
Key decisions about competition in Australia's telecommunications industry are expected this week.
