A coalition of smaller carriers have rejected yesterday's ACCC pay TV decision, saying it will serve to strengthen Telstra's monopoly over the telecommunications market.
The Federal Government has stifled a proposed Senate inquiry into the state of broadband competition in Australia, raising the ire of the Opposition and industry groups.
Telstra can expect a coordinated public assault in Melbourne tomorrow from five telecommunications carriers who have scheduled a morning briefing to to announce the formalisation of their existing alliance and the launch of a nine-point action plan.
A group representing rival telecommunications carriers today said the competition regulator should have prosecuted Telstra rather than simply issuing a notice against its bad behaviour on wholesale line rental increases.
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".
