I know a lot of this kind of thing came to light all those years ago but I never heard what ended up happening. You can see this highlighted in this ACCC briefing:<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.accc.gov.au/content/item.phtml?itemId=826044&nodeId=95df33b76a9806ef81c60feb3b73a837&fn=ACCC+briefing+October+2001.pdf">http://www.accc.gov.au/content/item.phtml?itemId=826044&nodeId=95df33b76a9806ef81c60feb3b73a837&fn=ACCC+briefing+October+2001.pdf</a></div>

<div style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"> so at what point did Telstra's attitude start to suck and is there a snowflakes chance in hell of having a level playing field (or something close to it) if you can speak to the right people? or are there no "right people" anywhere in Telstra who have the mindset to listen?<br>
