Australia: Telstra Accused of Misinforming About Broadband Services

Via The New Zealand Herald.

A group of telecommunications and internet companies have complained to the Government's competition watchdog that Telstra is waging a campaign of misinformation about the state of broadband services in Australia.

Eleven companies, including AAPT, Austar and Primus Telecom, have sent a letter of complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) calling for an investigation into a series of recent public statements by Telstra about broadband.

The move comes as the Federal Government is under increasing pressure to improve broadband infrastructure around Australia following an announcement by Labor last month that it would spend $4.7 billion to build a high-speed broadband network if it won office this year.

The letter to the ACCC is part of a wider campaign being run by the 11 companies dubbed "Tell the Truth Telstra".
