Australia: iiNet Ends Bush Broadband Hiatus

Renai LeMay writes in zdnet.com.au:

The nation's third-largest Internet service provider has ended its protest over Telstra's wholesale ADSL prices and has started signing up customers in regional areas again.

iiNet is "taking applications again for regional ADSL at lower speeds (512Kbps)", the ISP's managing director, Michael Malone, said in his presentation to the company's annual general meeting today. Documents detailing the speech were sent to the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) this morning.

Earlier this month the ISP announced it had stopped signing up rural and regional customers for broadband services due to the "unrealistic pricing" Telstra charged for its wholesale services.
