After over a year of bureacratic and legal wrangling, the Commerce Commission has issued its final determination on TelstraClear’s application for a Regulated Unbundled Bitstream Service (RUBS).
A billing cycle realignment for Telecom's Unbundled Bitstream Service (UBS) is creating Christmas cashflow headaches for providers, with some saying they were not notified of the bumper bills by their account managers.
TelstraClear and the Telecommunications Users Association (TUANZ) have warmly welcomed the Commerce Commission's recommendations over the wholesale broadband market.
The Commerce Commission has soundly rejected Telecom's claims over the dangers of delivering "unconstrained broadband" to its wholesale customers and has delivered TelstraClear a resounding victory in the ongoing regulatory battle.
