Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.

The undertaking was lodged following the ACCC's final decision on 21 December 2005 to reject Telstra's previous ULLS monthly charges undertaking. The ACCC also issued a draft decision rejecting Telstra's ULLS connection charge undertaking lodged on 13 December 2004. Telstra has withdrawn that undertaking.
In the previous, undertaking, submitted in December 2004. Telstra proposed monthly charges ranging from $13 per month in CBDs to $100 per month in the most remote locations.
ACCC commissioner, Ed Willett, said the ACCC had issued Telstra's undertaking to allow interested parties a longer period of time in which to assess the proposal. "The ACCC is preparing a discussion paper, seeking submissions on the undertakings, which it plans to issue shortly together with supporting public material from Telstra. The formal consultation period will begin when the discussion paper and related material has been issued".
