After writing to the ACCC late last month, a delegation of nine ISPs has met with the head of the competition watchdog to discuss their concerns regarding Telstra's conduct and a looming ADSL2+ "drought".
A group of nine ISPs sent a letter to the ACCC accusing the telco of stifling competition and urging the regulator to throw its full force behind an investigation.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) today declared that Internet interconnection arrangements should not be regulated at this time.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is seeking comment on whether it should regulate Internet interconnection arrangements.
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.
How much should Telstra be charging for unconditioned local loop?
When your broadband speeds are limited to 38Kbps it's not hard to join the ranks of people demanding the NBN already. Telstra's copper network is a renovator's delight.
Post-election adrenaline surging through his veins, one of the first acts performed by new Communications Minister Stephen Conroy was to disband the expert panel that his predecessor Helen Coonan had appointed last June to evaluate tenders for fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) construction.
Virtually everyone in the telecommunications industry has their say in the Senate Standing Committee's public hearing into the pending legislation to split up Telstra, in this week's Twisted Wire podcast.
What if Shell, Caltex, Mobil and all the other petroleum giants decided tomorrow to stop selling unleaded, and announced that they would only manufacture and sell LPG from now on? Telstra's decision to introduce RIM equipment in its Deakin, ACT exchange will have the same effect for its competitors.
Boss of internet service provider Exetel, John Linton, says the National Broadband Network should be handed to the only company that can build it Telstra and he's not impressed by NBN Co chief Mike Quigley.
Loosening the regulatory controls on Telstra might actually make it easier to attract customers away from its copper network and onto the new and shiny National Broadband Network.
While everyone was distracted by the NBN, a revolution was under way in the supply of fixed line broadband.
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".
iiNet and Telstra seem to be at loggerheads but the real culprit, according to the telco giant, is the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
