Telstra has withdrawn its appeal against a Court ruling which found that it engaged in "misleading" and "illegal" conduct in its Next G advertising, following a decision by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) which disputed claims about the coverage of the network.
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.
Was 2007 a good year for Telstra? Possibly. Was it a good year for Telstra's lawyers? Definitely.
Telstra probably knew its Next G advertising campaign was misleading and expected to write it off as the "costs of doing business", according to an IBRS Analyst.
The national competition regulator today said there was currently no need to force Telstra to provide wholesale access to its new ADSL and third-generation (3G) mobile networks.
Last week, a family friend rang for some technical help. "Telstra sold me this wireless Internet service and they promised it would work both at my home and at my office," he said. Said home is in the Melbourne CBD, and said office is in Kyneton, a lovely town about an hour away from Melbourne.
Australian telecoms is increasingly resembling the US during Prohibition, with Telstra as Al Capone and the ACCC as Eliot Ness.
Now that Minister Stephen Conroy has played his hand regarding Telstra's separation, the hard part begins.
