TPG and Telstra's big plan to allow TPG's customers to roam onto Telstra's regional network and share its spectrum with Telstra was knocked back by the ACCC late last year. Today it was revealed in TPG's ASX filings that the Australian Competition Tribunal (I didn't even know that was a thing) has rejected the plan too. TPG is still keen, saying that it is "considering its options for further appeal, including a judicial review in the Federal Court". Optus had the most to lose from a stronger TPG, so it's unsurprising that its CEO is "delighted that the Tribunal has upheld the ACCC's original decision to block this anti-competitive arrangement".
