| Subject: OZschwitz slave pen: watchdog orders main Telco to cut the price it charges other Telcos Sat Oct 10, 2015 2:51 am | |
| Australians could be paying less for their phone and internet from next month after Telstra was ordered to cut the price it charges other telcos to access its copper wire network.
The consumer watchdog has ruled Telstra should reduce the price by 9.4 per cent from November 1 as fewer and fewer people rely on the copper wire due to its gradual replacement by the national broadband network.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission explicitly dismissed Telstra's argument that the migration to the NBN meant it had to charge the remaining customers more to maintain the same level of service on its fixed line network.
"Users of Telstra's network should not pay the higher costs that result from fewer customers as NBN migration occurs," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said.
