The Western Australian Internet Association and South Australian Internet Association lauded the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) recommendation on Telstra's Line Sharing Service (LSS) monthly access charge.
Internode managing director Simon Hackett must have spent the past few months laughing quietly to himself as he watched rival telcos finally bring ADSL2+ broadband to the market.
Several of the nation's largest broadband sellers today said they had no intention of imitating competitor iiNet and suspending the sale of services to new customers in regional markets, although Telstra's wholesale pricing remains a worry.
Telstra's competitors have welcomed a move by the nation's competition regulator to restrain what it sees as anti-competitive pricing behaviour, but the heavyweight claims its prices are "fair and justified".
Most Australian service providers are pushing the wrong DSL services on to customers, with “sting in the tail” pricing to boot, hampering the uptake of broadband in the local market.
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
