Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Graeme Samuel took Telstra to task this week for not switching on high-speed ADSL2+ broadband nationwide.
Former Soul CEO Michael Simmons will be taking up duties overseeing G9's bid for the national broadband network, and has today called for the ACCC to intervene in the tender process.
The heated debate over who will build a countrywide fibre-to-the-node broadband network has been raging for some 18 months, with Telstra battling the ACCC, the government and the rival Optus-led G9 consortium. There are few signs the battle will end soon, but here is what has happened so far.
What would you do if you were Telstra? Write a humble letter to the ACCC, switch on ADSL2+, or just complain bitterly to the government?
The head of the nation's competition regulator yesterday scolded Telstra for promoting its views through the media rather than talking to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) directly.
