Telecommunications Pricing

Prices (or tariffs) for telecommunications services depend on the type of technology used and the locations of service provider or carrier infrastructure relative to the customer site. The difference in price between metro (short distance) and regional (longer distance) connections can be vast. This disproportion between pricing is of particular importance for Tasmania as most areas in the State fall outside of the inner metro-access band.

Larger corporate and government users generally negotiate contracts which may deliver substantial discounts on the national retail price structure. Telstra's position is that the level of discount relates only to the scale of the purchase. However, there is evidence that the level of competition present has a substantial impact on the degree of discount able to be negotiated.
