TPG would have had access to about 3,700 of Telstras mobile network assets under the proposed conditions. According to TPG, the agreement would have liberated regional Australia from its current mobile duopoly and pushed down mobile prices through increased competition from TPG. The ruling reinforces the need of infrastructurebased competition and investment in the communications sector, according to Kelly Bayer Rosmarin, CEO of Optus. Read More..
