SP Telemedia -- otherwise known as Soul -- has announced its plans to merge with TPG Internet in a further consolidation of the telco market which will create one of Australia's largest DSLAM footprints.
Internet service provider iiNet has reversed its position that it will not participate in Telstra's "fast churn" process as part of moving their ADSL customers to their own network.
Internode will spend $10 million upgrading its ADSL2+ infrastructure in a move that will primarily benefit Victorian and Tasmanian customers.
Australia's telcos have not stopped rolling out broadband infrastructure such as ADSL Multiplexer (DSLAM) hardware in exchanges, despite the Federal Government's $43 billion National Broadband Network plans.
Internet service provider iiNet is on track to boost its market share of fixed broadband customers by installing its network infrastructure into eight new regional communities.

The proposed buyout of Pipe Networks by SP Telemedia is an absolute travesty for Australia's telecommunications industry and will be overwhelmingly negative for customers, Pipe Networks staff, shareholders and the industry as a whole.
While everyone was distracted by the NBN, a revolution was under way in the supply of fixed line broadband.
NetComm have offered a small scale DSLAM designed for hotels, serviced apartments or serviced offices. We found it to be a very robust device which is easy to deploy and manage.
