Telstra has called for an independent telecommunications adjudicator with the power to make binding price and access decisions, but also wants an independent evaluation of its copper network settled before regulatory reform proceeds.
There were more than 3.6 million broadband connections in Australia as of 30 September last year, a report by the nation's competition regulator revealed on Friday.
Broadband connections in Australia have passed the three million mark, according to a report by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
The competition regulator yesterday gave its strongest indication yet that Telstra could scrap its proposed $2 billion next generation broadband network by the end of this month.
There are now almost three million broadband connections in Australia, including two million ADSL connections.
Earlier this week (Tuesday 3 March) a number of telecommunications industry heavyweights fronted up to the Senate Select Committee on the National Broadband Network.
Australia's competition regulator has warned it will act to ensure technological innovations that pose a serious threat to Telstra's dominance of the telecommunications sector are not "strangled at birth".
