The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has warned online traders that they must comply with the same laws that apply to their real-world counterparts, following release of an online survey revealing that many sites are denying customers their legal rights.
The competition watchdog has taken local telecommunications provider Clarus to court for allegedly misleading consumers into thinking it was affiliated with Telstra.
Telstra has asked the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) permission to charge its rivals $30 per customer per month to use its copper wires in suburban areas, until January 2010.
Google claims to rank search results by relevance, but the search engine engages in deceptive conduct by selling off the top positions to commercial partners, a Sydney court has heard.
A tribunal has upheld a decision by the competition watchdog to reject the price Telstra proposed to charge rivals for access to its copper wire network.
With all the excitement over the iPhone, few people have noticed that 1 July was the 11th anniversary of the deregulation of Australia's telecommunications market.
