The nation's second-largest telco today said it will fight "until the last breath" Telstra's desire to lock competitors out of using its planned fibre-optic broadband network.
Broadband Minister Stephen Conroy has hit back at criticism the government's fibre-to-the-node tender documents are far too light on detail, saying they were designed that way.
Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo has slammed the federal government's decision to award funding to Telstra competitor OPEL for a new national broadband network, decrying Australia as a nation that lacks any incentive for investment in telecommunications.
A group of telcos preparing an alternative to Telstra's proposal to build a national fibre broadband network are set to release the fine detail of their plan in a couple of hours.
The federal government today said it was important that discussions between Telstra and the competition regulator continue, despite criticism of the body by the telco's chief executive.
