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.

Aussie already has ADSL2+ :)

They talked about selling shares in aussie at the start but the rest is about NZ if I'm not mistaken.

503453 2006-12-01 23:55:00 It's appears to me to be all about Aussie, so perhaps you are mistaken :P

From the bottom of the article:



Telstra has said in the past it wants a "definitive assurance" from the ACCC that it would not be forced to offer rivals access to the ADSL2+ network too cheaply.

The company turned on the network last month but only offered the fastest speeds of up to 20 megabits per second in areas where rivals such as Optus and iiNet already offer ADSL2+, equating to about 46 per cent of the population.

Samuel said Telstra could simply seek an exemption under the Trade Practices Act if it wanted a legal guarantee that its ADLS2+ services would not be regulated. But Telstra wants more. The cat fight continues.

Yeah - maybe in the RFC. You just know it'll be about 143kbps when it gets to your computer.
