ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ declared the unconditioned local loop service (ULLS) in July 1999. In response to a discussion paper, submissions were received from several interested parties and these views were taken into account in developing the final report released in April 2002.

In March 2002 the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ varied the GSM service declarations, including other mobile services currently in use and making the declarations technology neutral.

In December 2001 the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ decided not to object to the proposed phase out of Australia Post's Ad Post service.

In May 2001 the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ varied the domestic transmission capacity service declaration, removing the remaining intercapital transmission routes from the service description.

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ commenced its inquiry in September 2000 and released a discussion paper on 29 September 2000.

Following public consultation, the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ revoked both declarations relating to the AMPS service, as the closure of the AMPS network on 31 December 2000 made these declarations redundant.

Following consultation and analysis the undertaking was rejected and a final report outlining the decision was issued in July 2000.

On 8 October 1998, the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ commenced a public inquiry into whether to declare under Part XIC of the Trade Practices Act 1974, a service which would enable service providers to supply the long distance transmission component of long distance and international calls made from mobile phones.

In November 1997 Telstra lodged three undertakings with the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ specifying the terms and conditions upon which Telstra proposed to meet its standard access obligations to supply PSTN, GSM (digital mobile) and AMPS (analogue mobile) origination and termination services.
