Vodafone slams regional telephony services
TELCO company Vodafone says Australians are paying a high price for poor services in regional areas and has slammed spending on fixed line telephony.
AUSTRALIAN telco customers in some regional areas pay $3.1 billion extra each year because there is no effective competition, according to Vodafone.
"CURRENTLY, in metro areas we have very strong competition and good volumes, but in regional Australia the story is very different," Vodafone Australia chief executive Inaki Berroeta said at an industry event in Sydney.
