The telecommunications industry seems to be wreathed in euphoric mist after today's announcement which looks to lead to Telstra's separation, but there are still voices of caution to be heard.
Telstra is expected to plead guilty today to breaching its obligations to provide competitors access to its copper network.
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.
AAPT chief executive Paul Broad has called on the government to boost the competition regulator's power to rein in both Telstra and Optus from moves he claimed were stifling competition in the fixed line and broadband markets.
Optus has thrown its weight fully behind the government's decision to change the goal posts of its National Broadband Network to fibre-to-the-home technology and to form a new majority government-owned entity to build it.
