Quilty continued: “In stark contrast to Terria, Telstra has the plans, the finances, the people, the resources and the expertise required to deliver this critical national project, and a Telstra NBN will be open access.

“Telstra guarantees that, if it builds the NBN, it will be an open access network with Telstra’s competitors having access to the network on an equivalent basis to Telstra itself.

“Telstra assumes that the requirement for open access will be legislated by the Government and policed by the ACCC – and Telstra is happy to provide its guarantee of open access on this basis,” Quilty concluded.

Personally, I wish all these telcos would just stick to their knitting and build the damn National Broadband Network.

But until that happens, the bloody war of words will continue escalating. It’d be easier to get broadband out of a stone!
