WA-based ISP iiNet has announced plans to launch its naked DSL service later this month.
Two of Telstra's biggest competitors have backed up their public complaints about the cost of accessing the heavyweight's copper network with formal requests for the nation's competition regulator to step in.
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.
A decision by embattled telco AAPT to invest in its own ADSL network would be "high-risk" and could make the business less attractive to suitors in the event of a sale, according to telecommunications research firm Ovum.
The Australian Competition Tribunal's (ACT) decision to wind back regulated access to Telstra's wholesale network has outraged the telecommunications sector.
Streaker Robert Ogilvie may have learned the hard way that getting naked can be painful, but many other Australians are apparently learning the same lesson as they try to break ties with Telstra once and for all.
