Optus this morning announced a AU$150 million rollout of its own broadband Internet digital subscriber line (DSL) equipment to hundreds of exchanges around Australia.
From 25 June, the nation's number two telco Optus will no longer sell fixed-line telephony and broadband services to consumer customers outside the planned range of its own network.
The nation's number two telco Optus today outlined a number of new and renewed enterprise customer wins as part of its quarterly financial results statement.
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.
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.
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.
