Telstra keeping us in the DARK AGES

The retail version told to the masses is that in Australia we have 'competition' is plainly a deliberate lie.

Whilst there may be companies, like : Optus (Virgin - Virtual Mobile Network Operator), Vodafone, 3, and a plethora of up and coming VMNO's, there is ONE thing in common:

They ALL use the copper that Telstra owns.


It does NOT matter how forward thinking the operators are, at the end of the day it is TELSTRA that thwarts all efforts to move technology along.

None can be better described by the following response from an internal document from a service provider with Telstra:

Our wholesale agreement is currently with Telstra. I am not sure if they
will allow for a naked DSL service any time soon. There is nothing which
I am aware of in the pipeline....


Naked DLS means that you do NOT have to connect a phone line to provide internet, a service that TELSTRA clearly dos NOT want to offer the customer.
