Broadband excluded from Telstra service reforms
11 Nov 2004
The federal government said it would introduce legislation to protect rural phone and internet services within two months, which would establish new minimum service standards, and investment levels, by Telstra in the bush. But the proposed standards won’t extend to broadband internet, even though deputy prime minister John Anderson said he wanted a tougher universal service obligation imposed on Telstra. Optus has also said it wants to improve services to the bush, though whether this would extend far beyond country towns and include broadband is not clear.
