Australia: Telstra Attacked Over 'Pathetic' Broadband Speed
Paul McIntyre writes in The New Zealand Herald:
After the stunning A$15.3 billion (NZ$17.6 billion) sale of the third tranche of Telstra shares a few weeks back, the federal Government and the competition regulator were in another punch-up this week with the telco giant over pathetic broadband internet speeds.More here.
Telstra refuses to run an ADSL2+ network five to 40 times faster than it does because it claims it needs regulatory certainty to ensure rivals can't piggy-back its infrastructure too cheaply.
But that argument came in for a blistering attack by the head of the competition watchdog, Graeme Samuel, who accused the telco of using subterfuge on regulation for a broader agenda.
