Telstra's Internet price hikes have angered the Queensland Government and may have taken it out of the running for a major Internet service contract in northern Queensland.
Broadband providers Internode and iiNet have hit out against the Federal government's ISP-level content filtering initiative a scheme that could cripple Australia's high-speed internet access, according to one exec.
After writing to the ACCC late last month, a delegation of nine ISPs has met with the head of the competition watchdog to discuss their concerns regarding Telstra's conduct and a looming ADSL2+ "drought".
A group of nine ISPs sent a letter to the ACCC accusing the telco of stifling competition and urging the regulator to throw its full force behind an investigation.
The federal government yesterday called for expressions of interest from internet service providers to conduct a live pilot of the controversial internet content filtering pilot it is planning.
In telecoms, Telstra is no 800 pound gorilla. It's an 800 pound colic-ridden infant, irritably throwing its toys out of the pram when it doesn't get its own way.
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.
Federal Government plans to introduce ISP-level filtering to provide a 'safer' internet experience for Australian families are likely to be met with significant resistance from within the ISP community.
Net neutrality has the superficial attraction of 1960's free love, argues Telstra's Justin Milne, until you realise that one party gets all the gratification while the other bears all the costs.
ISP-level content filtering won't work, according to three of Australia's largest internet service providers.
The leaders of three of Australia's largest ISP's have declared the net neutrality debate as solely a US problem and further, that the nation that pioneered the internet might want to study the Australian market for clues as to how to solve the dilemma.
