The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) decision to take Telstra to court for allegedly lying about being unable to provide wholesale services to other carriers was a waste of court time and money, the telco said today.
Communications regulator the ACCC has taken Telstra to court over what it claims are misleading statements contained in advertisements for the telco's Next G network.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has taken IT services and consulting firm Zanok Technologies to the Federal Court for allegedly taking advantage of people seeking jobs in the IT industry.
Telstra's legal challenge to the prices set by the Australian competition watchdog of access to its copper network was last Friday rejected in the Federal Court.
Australia's competition regulator has announced it is taking 28 parties, including telcos, to the Federal Court for exclusive dealing and misleading conduct.
Australian telecoms is increasingly resembling the US during Prohibition, with Telstra as Al Capone and the ACCC as Eliot Ness.

Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
Government agencies have plans in the pipeline to conduct a sweep of Australian Web sites, checking for compliance with new privacy legislation.
From dead parrots to ACCC lawsuits, the National Broadband Network and Fake Stephen Conroy, it's like Telstra is lost in T.S. Eliot's epic poem The Wasteland.
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.
We can now conclude that Telstra went backwards during the Trujillo era, and that the board's decision in June 2005 to sack Ziggy Switkowski and install a team of expensive Americans to run the company was a mistake.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy needs to stop handing his opposite Nick Minchin free kicks and put some transparency back into the National Broadband Network process before he finds himself losing favour with Chairman Rudd.
Last week saw two legal wins for copyright owners in their battle against piracy, but raised questions of whether large corporations are playing fair in the marketplace. If they're so keen on globalisation and having a 'level playing field', lets see them walk the walk themselves.
