Optus this morning announced it would offer naked DSL broadband plans, as well as broadband offerings provided on a "month-to-month" basis.

Internet service provider Internode today launched a new type of naked ADSL2+ service, using its own equipment at telephone exchanges to increase the range of its fast broadband.
Broadband ISP iiNet is considering reselling mobile phone and mobile data services. The company also hopes to replace Optus as the second largest broadband player in Australia, according to Greg Bader, the company's chief technology officer.

iiNet CEO Michael Malone talks about how successful the ISP's naked DSL service has been since it was launched in December.
iiNet's CTO Greg Bader admits that Naked DSL is 'one of the hardest products to get connected to' because it is beyond the ISPs control. He also admits to 'not having much joy' working with Telstra in making the switching process simpler.
