Why I would agree this issue probably isn't going to go anywhere, Telecom launched their JetStream Plus 2mbit/192k plan well after the law was already in place. The only thing that may have changed was maybe the CC made it clear they were violating the law by offering 192k whereas UBS was restricted to 128k? Did this occur? I'm still quite confused whether Telecom was actually be violating the law/requirements by offering 192k in their retail (and wholesale offerings) when they can only offer 128k for UBS or whether it's more of an operational decision by them to simplify matters etc.
