Several of the nation's largest broadband sellers today said they had no intention of imitating competitor iiNet and suspending the sale of services to new customers in regional markets, although Telstra's wholesale pricing remains a worry.
Optus today said that the terms of Telstra's AU$6.5 million deal with the competition watchdog over broadband pricing were "disappointing", given the telecommunications heavyweight had accrued a potential cumulative liability of AU$300 million.
Telecommunications companies are calling on the competition watchdog not to give Telstra a get out of jail free card by lifting a potentially financially damaging legal notice over its broadband pricing.
South Australian Internet Service Provider Adam Internet has announced that it would invest AU$9.6 million into a private next generation broadband network in Australia, independent of Telstra's exchanges.
Telstra's broadband services head has moved to hose down debate over DSL broadband service pricing as the telecommunications heavyweight prepares a huge marketing push to meet its goal of one million customers by 2005.
