Telstra plans to activate ADSL2+ broadband at more than 900 telephone exchanges serving 2.4 million consumers across the country. Telstra’s decision follows an assurance that it had an appropriate level of regulatory certainty. Communications minister Stephen Conroy acted on advice provided by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Telstra will immediately upgrade some 370 telephone exhanges, 132 telephone exchanges will be upgraded within three weeks and 405 exchanges will be upgraded within 200 days. The company further reiterated it is still committed to investing more than AUD 4.1 billion in an open-access fibre-to-the-node broadband service.
