Australia's competition watchdog has asked for submissions on whether changes made by Telstra to its wholesale ADSL broadband pricing plans justify removal of a notice alleging the telecommunications company was breaching competition rules.
update: The Federal Court has found the national competition regulator did not treat Telstra fairly when slugging the telco with a competition notice 12 months ago. The ACCC has expressed disappointment with the ruling.
Tier two telcos AAPT and Primus have indicated they have no immediate intention to follow Optus and sue Telstra over the heavyweight's December increase in one of its wholesale line rental plans.
The Australian Telecommunications Users Group (ATUG) has backed Shadow Telecommunications Minister Lindsay Tanner's criticism of the Federal Government's telecommunications price capping measures.
While the Federal IT Department introduces legislative changes designed to encourage competition in the telecommunications sector, Telstra warned of an anti-competitive loophole which may see the incumbent telco out of pocket.
