The nation's third-largest Internet Service Provider has stopped accepting ADSL customers in regional areas in protest over claims of unrealistic pricing by Telstra.
Telstra has moved to downplay the demand for high-speed Internet services in Australia, claiming only "a few thousand" people whose access standard is presently restricted by controversial "pair gain" technologies will want to upgrade.
The Federal Opposition has branded Telstra's recent announcement of a AU$10 million boost to rural and regional broadband as nothing more than a feeble publicity stunt.
The Federal Government has welcomed a AU$10 million investment into regional broadband by Telstra, saying it addressed a number of concerns raised by a recent inquiry into telecommunications services to rural and regional Australia.
What if Shell, Caltex, Mobil and all the other petroleum giants decided tomorrow to stop selling unleaded, and announced that they would only manufacture and sell LPG from now on? Telstra's decision to introduce RIM equipment in its Deakin, ACT exchange will have the same effect for its competitors.
