ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ held a consultation process about model price terms and conditions for the public switched telephone network (PSTN), unconditioned local loop service (ULLS) and local carriage service (LCS).

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ released its final decision on 26 June 2003.

On 26 March 2003 Australia Post provided the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ with a formal notification proposing to restructure the price of Reply Paid mail.

In April 2002 Australia Post advised the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ of its intention to lodge a price notification under s. 22 of the Prices Surveillance Act.

In March 2002 the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ varied the GSM termination services declaration to make it technology neutral.

In July 2002 the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ granted two separate exemptions in response to an application from Telstra for exemption from its obligations to supply the local carriage service to its competitors in CBD areas of Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

On 25 July 2002 the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ decided that it did not object to the proposed increase.

The revised final report issued in April 2002 confirms the approach and includes indicative prices.

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.
