Telstra Wireless Ad Ban Worries Watchdog

31st August, 2011 - Josh Taylor

Telstra's agreement to not promote wireless as a substitute for the National Broadband Network (NBN) as part of its $11 billion deal with the company "doesn't look good", according to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

In the definitive heads of agreement between NBN Co and Telstra, the telco has agreed not to promote wireless services, such as its long-term evolution (LTE) network, as a substitute for the NBN's fibre fixed-line service for a period of 20 years.
