We have no more information on this matter other than the info on this page. Please contact the Office of Consumer and Business Affairs or your local MP to complain about Telstra/Sensis Practises if you want anything to change. Downloadable Address ListsWe now have access to another method of supplying name, address and phone number lists. This is NOT a cdrom of the data but instead it allows you access to a central database via the internet and you can download lists from this database. You pre-purchase credits for the number of data records that you want to download. The information is NOT sourced from the phone book(s) and so Telstra CAN NOT shut this source down. The data is a bit more expensive than the previous CDROM data but it is also more accurate and more complete than phone book data (how they can claim this I don't know).Residential Data (7 million records available)The core dataset available is:

Contact details for Data Solutions Australia are: GO Software has been a reseller for Australia on Disc, DTMS (Desktop Marketing System) as well as ASearch which were all widely used in the Real Estate Industry, Debt Collection Industry (and others) to generate personalised mail outs to prospective purchasers and vendors. Due to a dispute with Telstra and Sensis (Yellow Pages and White Pages Directories) these databases are no longer available. Telstra/Sensis have a monopoly position with regard to this information and we believe that they have engaged in anti-competitive Practises by forcing their competition out of the market. Up until recently we believed you could now ONLY purchase this style of information from Telstra/Sensis. However I have just found out that Telstra/Sensis DON'T EVEN HAVE A COMPETING PRODUCT! Recently we have been providing the ASearch phone book Marketing software and we/they believed that Telstra was NOT going to threaten them and shut them down as they didn't gather their information from the printed phone books which Sensis has copyrighted. They, instead, gathered their information by doing multiple internet searches into Telstra's on-line database and then compiled their gathered data into their own format database. They maintained that because they had gathered their own lists through doing multiple searches of on-line database(s) then they had not infringed Telstra's copyright and Telstra had agreed with them. HOWEVER Telstra HAS now threatened legal action against them and THEY TOO are now shutting down. THERE ARE NOW NO CDROM BASED PHONE BOOK/ADDRESS DATABASES THAT YOU CAN USE
