The Rudd government has given Telstra a dramatic ultimatum: structurally separate your operations and divest Foxtel, or we'll do it for you.
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.
Competition regulator the ACCC is set to probe what's stopping Telstra's rivals rolling out broadband services -- and whether there are 'real' blocks, like space constraints, that are preventing them or whether there are 'artificial' restraints on accessing the unbundled local loop.
Telstra's battle with the ACCC over the cost of access to its network could come to an early end, the telco has revealed

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.
Shareholders got a rude awakening this week as Stephen Conroy made good on industry calls to break up Telstra. Some argue the government has been duplicitous and should be held to account, but those who sit tight may find the new Telstra offers a far better value proposition with better long-term opportunities.
Like Rudd, the ingrained cynicism and frustration at things not going to plan in Australia's telecommunications industry blinds ACCC chair Graeme Samuel to the possibility that he is part of the problem.
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.
Communications minister Daryl Williams and his political foe Kate Lundy debate on a wide range of issues, including three most pressing problems facing Australia's ICT industry.
Customers and government bodies should focus on products with open standards and realise the pitfalls of open source, argues Scott Petty, Dimension Data Australia COO.
