Facts are facts, right? Not when Telstra, Optus and the communications regulator are involved. With temperatures rising across the board over the contentious issue of broadband, mud-slinging and half-truths have become the order of the day.
The competition watchdog has rejected Telstra's proposed charges for connecting and disconnecting broadband Internet service providers' access to its basic copper wire.
Telstra says it is encouraging, rather than avoiding competition, by averaging the amount it charges rivals to use its copper wire network.
Telstra's proposal to charge its telco customers across Australia AU$30 per month for access to its unconditioned local loop service (ULLS) is set to be rejected by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
A tribunal has upheld a decision by the competition watchdog to reject the price Telstra proposed to charge rivals for access to its copper wire network.
