Ah, the rumblings of the behomoth Testra, exerting market power in Australia's telecommunications industry.
Yesterday they announced installation of ADSL2+ in 900 new exchanges around Australia. Enquiries today locally with Telstra countrywide indicate that this system will be up and going in our local exchange at Nightcliff, in 48 hours. For over 2 years Telstra has steadfastly said - NO to ADSL2+ except for the Darwin central business area exchange [already installed], despite many protests by small business.
It is not the change of policy, but the speed it will be deployed.........
This seems to have left competitors floundering, nay near drowning. Most are not likely to meet this demand rapidly and may well lose market share to Telstra.
So much for " a level playing field" and the squishing of competition by the giant Telstra.
I am cranky.......we have a great ISP provider consistently ranked in the top two around Australia, but it does not have the market power of Telstra.
As the Toyota ads say "bugger"!!!!
