Telstra has moved to cast itself as the champion of rural and regional Australia's telecommunications interests as debate over regulation of the sector grows ever-more heated.
Telstra today advised the market of a preliminary ruling by the competition watchdog that a single third party broadband provider can pay less for access to its equipment than the industrywide price listed by the telco in its earnings forecasts.
Telstra has been ordered to introduce a common phone line rental charge to ensure people in the bush are not charged more than their city cousins.
Communications Minister Helen Coonan says she wants the government to defer a decision on the price Telstra charges its rivals for base access to its copper wire network until early May.
Telstra says it is encouraging, rather than avoiding competition, by averaging the amount it charges rivals to use its copper wire network.
