@BrikoX Good, but I think too small.

The ramifications of this is the black-listing of dozens of VoLTE phones following the 3G shutdown. This government slap-on-the-wrist has given Optus, Telstra and Vodafone carte-blanche to tell customers “you didn’t buy the phone from us, so we can’t guarantee you can make calls”.

@Salvo @MorpheusB Cos who doesn’t like paying network’s prices for their choice of handsets with their bloatware running on their choice of OS? I really want ACCC to hit them with a massive stick over this.

It will get messy because they can fall back on “the government told us to do this so ACCC can’t touch us”. Lawyers will win; Government will lose, Telcos will lose and consumers will lose big time!
