Telstra will be forced to keep meticulous records on activities in its telephone exchanges, according to new regulations designed to alleviate complaints by other telcos.
In its regulatory submission this week, Telstra says the new national fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) roll-out should not have to interface with current network technologies such as the copper ADSL2+ network, because of impacts on performance.
Competition regulator the ACCC is set to probe what's stopping Telstra's rivals rolling out broadband services -- and whether there are 'real' blocks, like space constraints, that are preventing them or whether there are 'artificial' restraints on accessing the unbundled local loop.
Telstra has hit back at accusations from rivals that its decision to turn on ADSL2+ in 900 exchanges across Australia was the latest example of the telco "losing a game of chicken with the government".
Telstra has officially switched on over 900 ADSL2+ exchanges, amid allegations of spin by the telco over its decision to back down on the issue of regulation.
The actual administration of e-mail -- getting it into your company, filtering it, distributing it, providing mobile access to it, archiving it, backing it up, undeleting it -- can be an extremely time-consuming, bothersome process.
