Telstra: "ACCC are conspiring against us"

| | Comments (0)
The ACCC are bringing proceedings against Telstra, alleging contraventions of ss 52 and 53 of the TPA in Telstra's promotion of their "NextG" network.  Specifically, it is alleged that Telstra have engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct by representing that the NextG network "covers the entire country" and "has coverage everywhere you need it".  The ACCC are seeking interim injunctions against the advertising.

Telstra, true to form, have accused the ACCC of conspiring against them, saying that:

The ACCC is clearly hand in glove with the Government in doing everything it possibly can to undermine the interests of Telstra shareholders.

and that

This is anti-consumer, anti-investment, petty, regulatory garbage when Telstra is building a world's best mobile network with speeds as fast as any equivalent network in the world.

If Telstra dig the hole they're in any deeper, they'll be swimming in magma.
