Communications Minister Helen Coonan has told Telstra to speed up its talks with the competition watchdog on regulations to clear the way for consideration of its sale.
Communications Minister Helen Coonan says she wants the government to defer a decision on the price Telstra charges its rivals for base access to its copper wire network until early May.
Optus today said Telstra would not get the green light to build its new fibre network before the full sale (known as "T3") of the giant telco -- scheduled for the last quarter of this year -- goes ahead.
The national competition regulator today released a position paper detailing what it described as a "robust framework" for reviewing existing and guiding future telecommunications regulation of fixed network services.
Communications Minister Helen Coonan today said Telstra and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) were expected to resolve within weeks their dispute over regulations covering the telco's high-tech fibre network.

Unwired CEO, David Spence, has urged Australia's communications regulators to protect a tranche of prime wireless broadband spectrum due to be auctioned September from anti-competitive behaviour by existing carriers.
