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.
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.
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.
Telstra has accused Kate Lundy of "deliberately misleading and misinforming to the public" over the company's use of pair gain technology.
Australian telecoms is increasingly resembling the US during Prohibition, with Telstra as Al Capone and the ACCC as Eliot Ness.
Post-election adrenaline surging through his veins, one of the first acts performed by new Communications Minister Stephen Conroy was to disband the expert panel that his predecessor Helen Coonan had appointed last June to evaluate tenders for fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) construction.
The Australian Labor Party's ICT shadow minister wants a national fibre broadband network and enough skilled people to exploit it.
